WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has attacked the scoring of last Saturday's fight between undisputed junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor and mandatory challenger Jack Catterall.

Taylor won a controversial twelve round split decision in a bout where many observers felt Catterall had done enough to win.

Catterall provided a very difficult boxing style to solve and also dropped Taylor for the first time in his career.

The judges saw Taylor as the victor on two cards with tallies of 113-112 and 114-111, while the third saw Catterall at the winner 113-112.

Fury felt Catterall was the rightful victor of the bout.

"I think the judging these days is a disgrace. I think they need a good kick in the arse for it. They can't change the decision now and they've absolutely destroyed Jack Catterall's life and career. It's disgraceful," Fury told BT Sport.

Fury agrees with his co-promoter, Frank Warren, who doesn't want any British judges for the upcoming mandatory fight with Dillian Whyte on April 23 at Wembley Stadium.

"I’ve seen an article recently where Frank Warren said there would be no British judges for this fight and I reiterate that as well. Those words echo around my training camp. We don’t want British judges for this fight. We want proper, experienced, judges who will do the right thing," Fury said to Talk Sport.

“If Dillian Whyte beats me, give him the decision. Do not try and rob anybody of this fight, give the man the decision, give the man what he deserves. If I win, do the same for me. In boxing, these fighters don’t want any gifts, they don’t want robbery decisions.

“People want to win if they win, and lose if they lose. In the game, we’ve seen so many boxing decisions go the opposite way and I’m just thinking ‘what are they watching’."
