(UTV|COLOMBO) – Tyson Fury says “the world knows who the real WBC champion is” and believes his draw with Deontay Wilder was “a gift decision” for the American.
Fury, 30, shared a thrilling battle in Los Angeles, with many former professionals saying he won the bout.
Promoter Frank Warren said he and the British Boxing Board of Control will write to the WBC demanding a rematch.
Speaking the day after the bout, Fury said: “To be honest, I’ve never seen a worse decision in my life.”
The Briton added: “I don’t know what fight they were watching.”
Former world champions including Floyd Mayweather, Lennox Lewis, Tony Bellew and Carl Froch believed Fury had won.
Fury was floored in the ninth and final rounds – meaning they were scored 10-8 in Wilder’s favour.
