Six judges were being planned to score Fury and Usyk's undisputed fight but the Brit's promoter Bob Arum has denied the request just three weeks out
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk won't be scored by six judges as the major rule change has been rejected.
Sulaiman believed that introducing six judges would avoid any judging controversies, but Fury's American promoter Bob Arum has shut down the idea. "You don't put in something like that for the first time dealing with a major fight from the standpoint of visibility and importance," Arum told Boxing Scene.
"I wouldn't say that you don't experiment with it for another fight. I don't believe the judging becomes better because you have six judges rather than three." Fury had to pick himself up off the canvas to controversially win on points in his last fight against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
