Tyson Fury called an artificial intelligence scoring of his fight "absolutely s**t," saying that he wasn't a fan of the method, especially considering it scored the fight even worse for him than human judges.
Fury faced off against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in 2024 and for the second time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury lost the fight by decision and wasn't particularly happy with the scorecard that had him on the wrong side of a unanimous 12-round score of 116-112.
The English boxer was asked about an "AI experiment" announced days before the fight as part of which Saudi backers would be using an artificial intelligence judging model to score the match.
Although the scoring was not factored in with official results, the AI actually scored the fight worse for Fury with a 118-112 score, according to DAZN.
