Backstage footage of Tyson Fury after losing to Oleksandr Usyk has been released.
‘The Gypsy King’ is fresh off his rematch with ‘The Cat’ over the weekend in Saudi Arabia. Their first bout in May was a ‘Fight of the Year’ contender, which saw several swings of momentum. However, after a round nine knockdown, Oleksandr Usyk never looked back. After 12 rounds of action, he handed Tyson Fury his first career defeat in the boxing ring.
Following the loss, the British heavyweight went back to the drawing board. For the rematch, Tyson Fury decided to capitalize on his already massive size advantage. The former champion tipped the scales at 281 pounds during Friday’s weigh-in, giving him a staggering 55-pound weight advantage over Oleksandr Usyk.
The bout got off to a hot start, as Tyson Fury looked to use that weight early. While the former heavyweight champion led after six rounds, he quickly began to slow. Oleksandr Usyk wound up storming back and claimed his second straight win over Fury. This time, winning by unanimous decision.
“I’ll tell you what it is, you’re not getting nothing in these countries.”
