Tyson Fury lost to Oleksandr Usyk at the weekend in Saudi Arabia.
‘The Gypsy King’ failed in his bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Oleksandr Usyk took Fury’s WBC belt and undefeated record after putting in the sort of performance we have come to expect from him.
At one stage it looked like he was going to stop Fury but a mixture of the ropes and the referee helped the British fighter to navigate back to safety.

There is a rematch clause for both fighters, and in the immediate aftermath, Fury said he wanted to run it back.
But speaking to the press after the fight he back-tracked slightly on the rematch talk.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Fury.
“[In a potential rematch] I think I’d just do a little bit more of the same, keep me defense tighter – a bit more focused – and not too much messing around, because I was having fun in there.
“I was playing around; I was hitting him to the body; I was hitting uppercuts to the head. I thought I was bossing the fight. I was hitting him both sides to the body. Crack, crack.”
Do you want to see Fury vs Usyk II? Or has the Ukrainian got his number? Let us know in the comments.
Yes fury is usyk again and fury will beat usyk in rematch
Usyk got fury’s number now. Will be ready for a rematch and likely will finish that knock out. He was better in aj 2 and same will apply here. He is here to fight-not play. Best hw fight i have seen jn forever.
He was not better in aj 2 🤣🤦🏾 the first fight he cruised no problems at all, the rematch was a split decision with usyk getting hurt 😳🤷🏾
Yes i wil.
Fury will lose the rematch , know uysk has his number and knows how to fight him.
