Previously unseen footage has surfaced showing Tyson Fury’s candid reaction following his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.
Last weekend, a monumental showdown took place between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk as the two clashed to determine the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The event took place in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The highly anticipated event did not disappoint, delivering a spectacular display of boxing prowess.
In a gripping contest, it was Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk who won. He ended up securing victory via a split decision. This massive win crowns Usyk as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis achieved the feat in 1999.
A few days after the match, TNT Sports released a video offering fans a glimpse behind the curtain. The footage captures Fury’s immediate reaction as he heads back to his dressing room.
In the video, the British heavyweight can be heard expressing his frustration: “Get up boys. F*****g ripped me off there. Listen I won the fight by four or five rounds, but you can never tell when you are in there.”
Speaking further about the bout, Fury said: “We punched f**** out of each other for 12 rounds. I’m going to go home, drink some food, drink some beers, have some family time, walk the dog, go to the tip and me and Frank Warren will discuss the future.”
“If there’s going to be another fight, I think they’re talking about October, then we’ll rock and roll. I’m not boxing because I’ve got no money, I’m boxing because I love it.”
Addressing his future in boxing, Fury mentioned, “I’m 36 in a few months, I’ve been boxing since I was a child. Where does it all end? You have 100 fights and you have brain damage and are in a wheelchair? For as long as I’m loving the game, I’ll continue to do it, and when I don’t, I’ll pack it up.”
On the other hand, Usyk shared his thoughts and emotions following the victory. He remarked: “Last time when my father saw me was in my dreams. I miss my father and I said to him ‘hey listen, you live there and I live here, please don’t come for me, I love you.’ I also missed family holidays. I was only focused on this fight, now I’m happy and I want to go back home.”
Boxing fans around the world now eagerly await the next developments in the careers of these two remarkable boxers.
