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.”
