Isaac Lowe loses points in decision defeat
Lowe started strongly but his opponent began to establish a strong lead as their clash progressed.
Both men were cut during the fight that was hit controversy at the very end of round nine.
After Lowe’s gumshield fell out for the fourth time, the in-ring official decided to take a point from him.
Immediately after, the round ended and the 30-year-old Englishman angrily stormed back to his corner.
Lowe screamed, tossed his hands in the air, and kicked a stool before his coaches calmed him down.
Things didn’t get any better in the tenth frame as his mouthguard fell out again and he lost another point.
Thankfully, the deductions didn’t mean much as McGregor was a clear winner even without them.
The ringside judges scored the fight 96-92, 97-91, and 97-1 in favor of the 27-year-old Scotsman.
Tyson Fury shut off family during latest camp
Tyson Fury recently shocked the world by revealing he has not seen his kids or spoken to his wife for three months.
“It’s been a long camp, been away from my wife and kids for three months,” he said.
“I’ve not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word.
“I’ve sacrificed a lot. It will be worth it 100 percent.”
Usyk is taking a different approach to his rival. ‘The Joker’ has been away from his family during camp, but he’s in constant contact with them as they inspire him to push through tough times.
“I speak with my wife every day, every time, every second, every minute. My children too, it helps me, because it’s my family,” he told TNT Sports.
“For me, it doesn’t matter what Tyson does. For me, it matters what I do.
“My little daughter, Maria, started to walk, say ‘Mama’ and ‘Baba’. Baba is like a grandmother. This has really motivated me.”
