It looks like Tyson Fury’s dream of turning his lineal heavyweight champion into an undisputed heavyweight champion has been halted. The fight happened in front of a packed crowd at the Riyadh and was broadcast live all over the world. As such, Oleksandr Usyk defeated the former WBC heavyweight champion for the first time in his professional career. Furthermore, Fury was almost knocked out in the ninth round but lost via a split decision.
Fury’s post-fight interview has been heavily scrutinized, particularly his introspective comments. In a series of suggestive comments, Fury appears to be pinning his hopes on a rematch. However, a strange statement from ‘the Gypsy king’ caught the attention of many. Some of his followers speculated as to how the former champion might have been influenced by Usyk’s beatdown.
We go back to our families and we run it back in October. Good luck to Oleksandr, well done, God bless you, happy new year.Tyson Fury via post-fight ring interview

The closest Fury came to being stopped in the undisputed fight was in the ninth round. This was when a lightning-fast attack from the Olympic gold medalist caused Fury to stumble towards the ropes. The Gypsy King barely managed to survive Usyk’s barrage of attacks with the use of ropes.
However, while all of this was impressive, Fury sustained a lot of damage. Many people even argued that the referee should have stopped the fight at this point. As such, after witnessing Fury’s post-fight speech this notion was further asserted.
“Concussion does strange things.”
Fans genuinely believe that Fury sustained a lot of damage during the fight and should get himself checked up. Furthermore, they trolled Fury by stating that he was knocked back to the original date of the fight. In addition, fans compared his speech to Rolando Romero‘s post-fight speech.
