NO FIRE OF FURY Alexander Povetkin outmuscles Hughie Fury to earn points win in uninspiring heavyweight clash
But all three judges preferred the Russian veteran’s aggressive style and scored it 117-111, handing the Brit his third defeat.
A crestfallen Fury said: “I am disappointed. I did my best and came out second best.
“I should've stuck to my boxing a bit more, but it is what it is.”
The first round was predictable, Fury, danced around the edge of the ring flicking out a jab while Povetkin prowled around hurling his feared left hook from a crouching position.
The betting odds of a second-round Fury win were bizarrely slashed during the day so it was an anxious wait for hundreds of punters.
Like Tyson, Hughie is not a concussive puncher so it was baffling the odds on a round-two win were as short as 7-1 when the other rounds varied between 40-1 and 66-1.
