Tyson Fury's teammate suffered a unanimous defeat on the undercard of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
'The Gypsy King' came up short by split decision when he fought Oleksandr Usyk for the first time in May. Seven months later, he will get his chance for revenge when they fight for the WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

Isaac Lowe loses points due to decision defeat
Lowe started off strong, but his opponent began to gain a strong lead as their match progressed.
Both men were cut during the fight that sparked controversy at the very end of round nine.
After Lowe's gums fell out for the fourth time, the in-ring official decided to take a point away from him.
Immediately afterwards the round ended and the 30-year-old Englishman angrily stormed back to his corner.
Lowe screamed, threw 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 when his mouthguard fell out again and he lost another point.
Fortunately, 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, 97-1 in favor of the 27-year-old Scot.

Tyson Fury shut down family during last camp
Tyson Fury recently shocked the world by revealing he hasn't seen his children or spoken to his wife in three months.
“It's been a long camp, I've been away from my wife and kids for three months,” he said.
'I haven't spoken to Paris at all for three months, not a word.
“I have sacrificed a lot. It will be 100 percent worth it.”
Usyk tackles his rival in a different way. 'The Joker' has been away from his family during camp, but he is in constant contact with them as they inspire him to get through tough times.
“I talk to my wife every day, every time, every second, every minute. My children too, it helps me, because they are my family,” he told TNT Sports.
“For me it doesn't matter what Tyson does. For me it matters what I do.
“My daughter, Maria, started walking and said 'Mama' and 'Baba'. Baba is like a grandmother. This really motivated me.”
