Tyson Fury may have only one fight left in him and it’s one Gareth A Davies believes ‘all Brits would love to see’.

Fury fought valiantly against Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch on Saturday in Saudi Arabia but it was still not enough to exact revenge as Usyk retained his belts thanks to a unanimous decision verdict.

The result preserved Usyk’s perfect record and cemented him as one of the all-time greats in the heavyweight division.

As for Fury, he is now at a crucial juncture in his career.

At 36 years of age, he only has so many years left at the top of boxing before father time inevitably catches up.

Additionally, the only two losses in his career are to Usyk, who has now beaten him twice on points.

But does he look to join the illustrious company of Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Michael Moorer by making one final push to become a three-time heavyweight world champion?

Tyson Fury vs Oleksansdr Usyk LIVE result and highlights as Brit loses again

Tyson Fury had the chance to avenge his only career defeat when he took on Oleksandr Usyk last night in their heavyweight rematch – but was on the end of another decision defeat

Tyson Fury’s mission to avenge his only professional defeat ended in crushing disappointment as he lost on a unanimous points decision to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh.

Another classic encounter between the well-matched rivals ended with Usyk retaining his WBC, WBA and WBO belts by finishing 116-112 ahead on all three judges’ scorecards. It was a fair reflection of the Ukrainian’s control of the rematch given he set the pace for most of the 12 rounds and was the harder worker, landing more frequently and with greater impact.

On the undercard, Moses Itauma destroyed Demsey McKean inside the first round while Dave Allen was robbed of a win over Johnny Fisher after dropping his unbeaten British rival in the fifth round. You can re-live all the action from Saturday night right here and watch highlights of the heavyweight showdown…

Tyson Fury insisted Oleksandr Usyk had been gifted an early Christmas present after disputing the Ukrainian’s unanimous points victory in their rematch in Riyadh.

Fury lost 116-112 on all three judges’ scorecards as his bid to avenge his only career loss ended conclusively with the extraordinary Usyk retaining his WBA, WBC and WBO titles. Promoter Frank Warren said he was “dumbfounded” by both the result and the wide margin of victory – and Fury agreed.

“I felt a little Christmas spirit in there and I think he got a little Christmas gift from them judges. An early Christmas gift,” said Fury, who lost the first fight in May by split decision. “I was confident I had won that fight again. I thought I’d won both fights, but then again I’ve gone home with two losses on my record. I will always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.

“I’m not going to cry over spilt milk. It’s happened now. I know boxing, I’ve been in it all my life and you can’t change no decisions. I will always feel a little bit hard done by. Not a little bit, actually a lot. When you don’t get the knockout, this is what happens. You can’t guarantee the win.”

Hearn tells Fury to fight AJ

“I don’t think it’s time to start screaming, this night is Usyk vs Fury, but the reality is there’s only one fight for Tyson Fury and that’s Anthony Joshua,” Hearn told DAZN. “It’s the biggest fight probably in the history of British boxing, everyone will always want to see it. And by the way, that wasn’t a Tyson Fury that looked finished, it wasn’t a flat performance, it wasn’t a poor performance, he didn’t look gun-shy, he didn’t look like his punch resistance was in question like we talked about earlier.

“I think Tyson Fury is still potentially at the peak of his powers, just not good enough to beat Oleksandr Usyk. But for me, AJ against Fury is the one, it’s the one at Wembley, I’m going to be pushing His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] to make the fight, but that’s maybe one for another day, tonight belongs to Oleksandr Usyk. But Fury will struggle with this, I think. All fighters do, AJ struggled with the Dubois defeat as well, you’re a winner and when you get beat it hurts and this will hurt Fury.

Fury on what’s next…

“I’m going to go home and have a good Christmas. I’m going to wait 12 weeks. I put a lot of work in for this fight and I’m going to go home now and enjoy it.”

On whether he felt Usyk’s spirit: “I didn’t feel any spirit. I felt a little bit of Chritsmas spirit in there and I think he got a little Christmas gift from the judges. Christmas gift early!”

Mor on his performance: “I thought I won both fights. I know what I had to do… knock him out to get a decision, but do you know what… it’s boxing, it happens. And there’s no doubt in my mind I won the fight, and that’s it.”

Fury was ‘confident’ that he was ahead heading into the final round

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, the ‘Gypsy King’ insisted he felt as if he was ahead going into the final round. “Yeah. I was quite confident. I thought I won that fight again. I think I got Larry Holmesed here. I thought I won both fights, but then again, I’ve gone home with two losses on my record. So, there’s not much I can do about it. I can just fight my heart out and do the best I can. But again, I’ll always believe it till the day I die, I thought I won that fight.

Despite suffering his second loss to Usyk, Fury has absolutely no reason to hang his head in shame.

In a brief conversation with ESPN, he said: “I thought I won the fight again, I was Larry Holmesed again. I was on the front foot the entire time. When you don’t get the knockout, this is what can happen.”

Will Tyson Fury fight Anthony Joshua? Will Gypsy King take a trilogy contest with Oleksandr Usyk instead?

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have been linked with a huge all-British clash for years. With Fury on the cusp of his world title fight with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night in Riyadh, shown live on TNT Sports Box Office, there is speculation that the Briton could finally move onto a fight against Joshua in 2025. Fury, his promoters and Eddie Hearn all have had their say in the recent past.

The two fighters have circled one another for a decade, but will Tyson Fury finally fight Anthony Joshua?

Fury fights Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night, live on TNT Sports Box Office, and whether he wins or loses, most British fight fans will hope that before Joshua and Fury step away from the sport, they will finally settle their rivalry.

Poll: Will Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua actually happen in 2021? - Bad Left Hook

The two almost fought a few years ago, before they were sidetracked, in part, by Usyk.

In 2021 it seemed set that the two Britons would meet in the ring for an undisputed clash in their next fights, but ultimately, Fury was forced to honour an obligation to take on Deontay Wilder in his trilogy rematch, which he duly won.

While he retained his WBC crown, Joshua found himself teed up to defend his three belts against Usyk, who was getting used to the heavyweight division after moving up from cruiserweight.

Ultimately, the Ukrainian would win both of his two fights against Joshua to set up an undisputed clash with Fury, which he won in May. That leads us to now, with several options ahead for Fury.

Oleksandr Usyk aims sly dig at Tyson Fury with ‘wife’ response after revealing secret to victory in final rounds after Gypsy King claimed he had not spoken to Paris in THREE months before big fight

Tyson Fury trained solidly for three months without speaking to his wife, Paris
Oleksandr Usyk appeared to make reference to this in his post-fight interview
Relive Fury’s defeat to Usyk round-by-round with Mail Sport’s blog from the bout

Oleksandr Usyk suggested his wife was responsible for his victory over Tyson Fury in a subtle dig at the Brit – after the Gypsy King ignored his beloved Paris for three months.

Fury locked himself away in an intensive camp and claimed he had not spoken to his wife Paris, who he married in 2008 and has seven kids with.

The pair were finally reunited on Thursday night at the pre-fight press conference but their coalition did not inspire Fury to victory on Saturday in Riyadh.

Usyk won 116-112 on all three of the judges’ scorecards to retain his WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight belts, winning 16 of the last 18 available rounds in the second half of the fight.

Asked what the key to that stamina was, he said: ‘I don’t know, maybe I train. Good prepare. My wife helps me (smiles).

In the build-up to the fight, Usyk revealed that he had not actually seen his wife Yekaterina (Katerina) for five months, but said they spoke every day.

He and Katerina have been married for 15 years and have four children: sons Kyrylo and Mykhalio and daughters Yelizaveta and Maria, whose birth he missed preparing for the first contest between himself and Fury.

‘It’s helped me – because it’s my family,’ the Ukrainian said.

‘My little daughter, Maria, started to walk, say ‘mama’, ‘baba’ [grandmother]. This is real motivation for me.’

Elite athletes often face time away from loved ones but it is a particularly felt theme in boxing, where fighters withdraw for long periods of time and demand unyielding focus of themselves.

Fury revealed in October that his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage on the eve of his first fight with Usyk in May, but that he was only told when he returned home.

‘She was six months pregnant. It’s not like a small miscarriage at the beginning – you have to physically give birth to a dead child, on your own, while your husband is in a foreign country.

‘To go through that on your own isn’t good.’

Paris usually attends the Gypsky King’s fights but he knew something was wrong when she was not ringside for that first bout in Riyadh, which he lost via split decision.

He said: ‘I said to my brother “she’s lost that baby”. She never told me she had lost the baby, but I knew.

‘When I got back I got the inevitable confirmation that it was gone, but she had kept it to herself.’

Fury added: ‘I could not be there for her in that moment. And that’s tough for me.

‘I have been with the woman for longer than I wasn’t with her, so it’s hard that I couldn’t be there with her in that time.’

Fury once again went the distance with Usyk on Saturday night and was praised by pundits for raising his game, though the scorecards handed him a distant defeat.

Fury stormed out of the ring after learning the result and later told Sky Sports that he felt he had won by three rounds, while co-promoter Frank Warren called a defeat by that margin ‘impossible’.

How brave Tyson Fury could not solve the Oleksandr Usyk conundrum: JEFF POWELL’S verdict

In the press conference, Fury was asked what’s next for him after coming up short in undisputed and then unified title fights, signalling the first losses of his entire professional career.

‘I thought I won that fight. I thought I won both fights but I’m going home with two losses on my record. There’s not much I can do about it. I can just fight my heart out,’ he said.

‘I will believe ’til the day I die that I won that fight. I was aggressive, on the front foot all night, landing to the body and head. Frank Warren [his promoter] had me three or four rounds up. A lot of people had me at least two rounds up. But I’m not going to cry over spilled milk. I can’t change the decision. When you don’t get the KO this is what happens: you can’t guarantee a win

‘You might see me fight again, you might not,’ he cryptically answered. Many fans will hope his future involves a long-awaited dust-up with Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder should lead a series of UK vs US heavyweight fights, says Richard Torrez

US Olympic silver medallist and rising prospect Richard Torrez wants to see a series of Britain vs America heavyweight bouts, with Anthony Joshua fighting Deontay Wilder leading the way; Torrez looks to continue his own ascent this weekend live on Sky Sports.

There should be a series of transatlantic heavyweight clashes, starting with Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder, says Richard Torrez.

US Olympic silver medallist Torrez wants to see British and American heavyweights fighting to further ignite the division.

“I still want to see Wilder versus AJ, I still want to see some of those big guys go at it,” the Californian told Sky Sports. “We still want to see all of those fights happen. They will still be entertaining fights.

“You put a big heavyweight versus another big heavyweight – that’s going to be fireworks.

Torrez is an ambitious American prospect, who wants to test himself against Europe

it’s going to be a really cool and active scene for the up and comers.

“It’s building up and I’m really excited to see where we go with heavyweight boxing.”

Torrez returns to action this weekend when he fights on the undercard of Emanual Navarrete’s world title rematch with Oscar Valdez, live on Sky Sports Main Event at 1.30am on Sunday morning.

No opponent has gone the distance with him yet in Torrez’s 11 bout pro career, though his last victory saw Joey Dawejko disqualified rather than stopped.

“I wish I had a couple more rounds. I really do. I think that the way the fight was going I was going to be able to put it on him a little bit more,” Torrez said.

Clarke defeat ‘tough to watch’

Torrez intends to continue his rise up the heavyweight ranks, but knows the pro sport can be dangerous even for an Olympic medallist.

He saw Fabio Wardley take out Frazer Clarke, who won a bronze at the Tokyo Games. “Frazer’s my Olympic ‘team-mate,’ I used to spar with him all the time,” he said. “That was tough to watch. It was a good contest. Fabio did his job.

“Personally I wish the ref had separated them when Frazer turned. I kind of wish that would have happened. It was a great fight. That guy showed his power, what he could accomplish against an Olympian.”

Torrez’s Top Rank promotional stablemate, and former amateur opponent, Jared Anderson also met defeat relatively early in his career when Martin Bakole stopped him in August.

“I don’t knock Jared for doing what he did. If I got that opportunity, I’d be jumping at the bit to take it as well,” Torrez said.

“I feel like as a fighter you have to feel and understand and believe fully that you can take on anyone and I think that’s what happened with Jared.

“I think that’s just the fighter mentality.”

‘Don’t count out Fury’

Every heavyweight, and the whole of the boxing world, will be watching Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk for the unified WBO, WBC and WBO championships.

Torrez, a southpaw and a relatively small heavyweight like Usyk, tips the Ukrainian to beat Fury again in their second fight.

“I favour Usyk a little bit more, just because he has the game plan now. He knows what it takes to win,” Torrez said.

“I think Usyk has done a really good job of nullifying some of those heavyweights. Just the movement, the feints and getting inside and not letting them sit down and throw.

“But I feel like people are thinking that Usyk demolished Tyson. It was a close fight, it was within two rounds. It was active it was competitive. I think if Tyson Fury can just keep him at bay a little bit more and if he can do something, to either use more feints, or maybe just keep that jab hand out … the big thing is you can’t count Tyson out.

“I’m excited for the fight. I am favouring Usyk a little bit more.

“But I’m not counting out the big man.”

Joseph Parker Sums Up Deontay Wilder’s Power Perfectly In Just 4 Words As Comeback Confirmed

Deontay Wilder boasts the sort of power that can end a fight in an instant.

The American moved 43 fights undefeated in his career, claiming the WBC World Heavyweight Title and defending it over a period of five years with knockout after knockout. Of his 43 wins, only one opponent has seen the final bell.

His fortunes soured when he met Tyson Fury. After fighting to a contentious draw in their first bout, the Brit would produce two knockouts of his own in the second and third, taking the title and leaving Wilder facing a long road back to the top.

After a first round stoppage of Robert Helenius, the 39-year-old ended a period of inactivity by facing fellow former world champion Joseph Parker. The New Zealander upset the odds impressively, nullifying Wilder’s main weapon, hurting him and winning every round on his way to a unanimous decision.

In the aftermath, Parker said Wilder possesses a ‘very hard right hand’ and admitted the fight could have played out differently had he not been switched on for all twelve rounds.

“Practice, practice, practice. Work, work, work. Listen, I had to be aware of it at all times. He did catch me a few times on the guard and, I’ll tell you this, it’s a very hard right hand. If it landed clean it would’ve been different, but today’s my day.”

Elaborating in an interview with Boxing News post-fight, Parker said he started out cautious but grew into the fight as he broke the American down with his own work.

“I was very cautious in the beginning of the fight, because of what Wilder presents and how dangerous he is as a fighter – he can finish you off just like that in the blink of an eye. I was picking my moments, picking my shots. As the rounds progressed I was gaining more confidence in what I was doing.”

Wilder was branded gun-shy in the bout, which is slightly unfair to Parker who fought the perfect gameplan. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ did, however, show the same negative signs when he next faced Zhilei Zhang and was knocked out in five rounds.

Despite some in the sport calling for his retirement, Wilder has confirmed he will fight on and has said he is interested in a fight with former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou, who took Fury the ten round distance in his debut defeat before being knocked out by Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury Gives a Major Update on Oleksandr Usyk’s Trilogy

Boxing fans are greedy, aren’t they? We are just hours away from Oleksandr Usyk and Frank Warren promises a trilogy.

In a conversation with ‘Boxing News,’ Warren claimed that a trilogy fight between Fury and Usyk is “contracted. And whatever happens, that would be the case if Tyson wins, providing nobody retires.”

Warren declared that if the 36-year-old is victorious in the rematch, the trilogy will take priority for both of these fighters over matchups with Anthony Joshua and will further delay the undisputed clash against Dubois or Parker.

Boxing fans have been desperately waiting to see AJ and Fury collide with each other in the ring. Furthermore, even Joshua is waiting for the Riyadh Season rematch’s result to decide his future as he wants a clash with Fury. If the trilogy does happen, it will massively hamper his comeback plan.

Furthermore, to make matters worse for AJ, ‘The Gypsy King’ has also shown more interest in facing Usyk again rather than him. In a conversation with Al Arabiya, Tyson Fury declared, “Joshua’s in tatters at the moment. He has got to pick up the pieces from his last fight. But the fight with Usyk, one on Saturday and the one afterwards, would be fantastic for me.”

While this announcement by Tyson Fury and Frank Warren would have hurt AJ and some fans, the majority of boxing fans won’t be opposed to seeing Fury and Usyk locking horns for the third time. Let us know your thoughts down below.

Fury rematch. The last major PPV of 2024 which might even trump their first clash in May, where Usyk created history to become the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.

While the two fighters are completely focused on the rematch, there is already a buzz regarding a possible trilogy. Many reports have suggested that Fury and Usyk have agreed to a trilogy under a certain condition, but nothing was certain. Well, Tyson Fury took care of that and set the record straight on a possible trilogy ahead of the highly anticipated rematch.

Tyson Fury ready for a third clash

In a conversation with ‘Boxing King Media,’ the Manchester native emphasized his complete focus and desperate pursuit of revenge. During the conversation, the interviewer asked ‘Gypsy King’ about a possible trilogy. While the 36-year-old expressed that he would love a third match, it will only happen under one condition.

Tyson Fury declared, “When I win this one then yes, for sure,’ claiming that the third match will only happen if he wins the upcoming rematch at Kingdom Arena. While there was a two-way rematch clause in the contract for their first clash, the 36-year-old made it clear that there was no contractual obligation like that this time around.

In this scenario, a third fight will only happen if Fury is successful in exacting revenge, which will increase the demand for a decisive third bout. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh won’t shy away from making a trilogy immediately. If Oleksandr Usyk emerges victorious, he will probably move on to other things. Quite possibly an undisputed clash with either Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker.

A few days ago, Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren also talked about the possible trilogy and how it will trump any other clashes for both of these boxers.

Everything Mike Tyson has said since Jake Paul fight including blank out and wife confession

Mike Tyson has shed more light on the leadup to his highly-anticipated fight against Jake Paul, as well as his experience inside the ring at AT&T Stadium on fight night

Mike Tyson has pulled the curtain on his divisive fight against Jake Paul.

Last month, Paul – or perhaps Father Time – decisively bested Tyson in front of a crowd of 70,000 at AT&T Stadium. Despite both combatants vowing that the highly-anticipated faceoff wouldn’t go the distance, the bout ended up spanning all eight, two-minute rounds – with all three judges ruling in favor of the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

After spending the better part of two decades away from the boxing ring, Tyson looked to be a shell of his former self upon returning to the stage where he dominated for so many years. The 58-year-old looked every bit his age versus Paul, 27, only managing to connect on 18 of his 97 punches thrown (18 percent).

In the leadup to the lucrative fight – which became the most streamed global sporting event in history after Netflix raked in 108 million viewers – many fans expressed concern for Tyson’s health. The ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ did little to ease these concerns following the bout, conceding that he suffered a major health scare prior and blacked out on fight night.

Below, Mirror U.S. Sports shares everything that Tyson has publicly said since duking it out with Paul.

Blanking out

While appearing on Fox Sports Radio last week, Tyson admitted that he can’t recall what happened inside the ring for much of the eight-round bout, which he made sure to confirm was a “real fight.”

READ MORE…….

“I don’t remember the fight that much, I kind of blanked out. I haven’t watched the fight back,” he conceded. “You know what I remember… coming back from the first round and Jake was doing some sort of bow… that’s the last thing I remember.

“I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t sweaty,” Tyson noted. “I went to the house we were staying in, I left the house with my wife and kids, went to the after-party then went back.”

Second thoughts

On the heels of the watershed bout – which netted him around $20 million – Tyson questioned why he decided to take on Paul in the first place. “The day after the fight, I woke up and told my wife, ‘Why did I do that?’ I just don’t know what the hell went on.”

Tyson still relished the opportunity to fight following a long hiatus from the sport, adding: “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won … I’m grateful for [Friday] night and have no regrets about getting in the ring one last time.”

Health scare

Several months before the fight, Tyson revealed that he nearly lost his life after a medical health emergency required multiple blood transfusions. “I almost died in June,” he began. “I had eight blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.

“To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish eight rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for.”

Over in an instant

Speaking to 7News at a Miami pop-up event, Tyson asserted that he wasn’t tired after going toe-to-toe with Paul despite his old age. “It just happened so quick,” he said. “Eight rounds were over fast. I wasn’t tired. I wasn’t sweating. I didn’t understand that.”

Sky is the limit

As for what the future may hold, Tyson stopped short of ruling out yet another fight. “As I said before, the sky is the limit,” he said. “Anything I want, I’m just happy to be able to do it. I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to be able to do everything that I want to do in this and beyond.”Mike Tyson has pulled the curtain on his divisive fight against Jake Paul.

Why Mike Tyson Summed Up Floyd Mayweather’s Claim That He Was Better Than Muhammad Ali In Just 3 Words

Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather are three of the biggest names in boxing history.

Tyson is the youngest world heavyweight champion in history, becoming the number one attraction in the sport throughout the 80s and 90s.

Ali transcended the sport in the same way in the 60s and 70s, being involved in some of the biggest fights of all time including the ‘Rumble In The Jungle’ and the ‘Thrilla In Manila.’

Mayweather then took that baton as the face of boxing in the 2000s and 2010s, becoming the box office king before retiring with a perfect 50-0 undefeated record in 2017.

It was those accolades that led Mayweather to claim that he is the best boxer of all time, telling ESPN that he is better than Ali was.

“No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Muhammad Ali was better than me. Leon Spinks beat him when he had seven fights. They’d never put a fighter in there with Floyd Mayweather with seven fights.”

Tyson has reacted angrily to those comments, and needed just three words to let his feelings be known on Mayweather whilst talking to UCN.

“He’s very delusional.”

Tyson then expanded further and pulled no punches on Mayweather.

“If he was anywhere near that realm of great as Muhammad Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself. He can’t take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he’s great?

Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people. It’s being accepted by the people. He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself. He’s a little scared man. He’s a very small, scared man.”

Tyson recently returned to the ring for a controversial fight with Jake Paul, and ‘Iron Mike’ has one question from the bout that he still wants answered.
