Oleksandr Usyk has hit back at claims from Tyson Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, following his boxing win over the Briton on Saturday night.
The Ukrainian champion responded to protests about the judges' scoring with a cutting remark about Warren's judgement.
"Uncle Frank, I think blind," said Usyk. "If Tyson says Christmas gift, OK thank you God, not Tyson, thank you my team. Listen, Frank crazy man I think. In my opinion. No problem. I win."
Both Fury and Warren were adamant they had won the fight, challenging the unanimous decision from all three judges who scored it 116-112 for Usyk.

Warren expressed particular frustration with the scorecards, saying: "One judge gave Usyk the last seven rounds. How on earth can anyone say he never won one round out of the last 7? I'm dumbfounded at the scoring."
The defending WBA, WBO and WBC heavyweight champion retained his titles despite these protests.
Fury remained defiant about the outcome, stating: "I thought I won that fight again. I thought I won both fights but going home with two losses on my record."
