Tyson Fury a few years ago refusing to fight Usyk
“I want the big fights and that ain’t one of them. He’s a foreigner in a westernised world. The heavyweight champion should be from Britain or America and nowhere else.”
Usyk has now beaten him twice
🇺🇦 You won’t pick up on it if you don’t know the language but the coach asked if @usykaa “wanted the crucifix” after RD 7. Usyk said yes, kissed the crucifix, and went on to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Moments like this make you realize how deep these athletes have to dig sometimes to achieve these unbelievable feats #FuryUsyk

Tyson Fury wished us all a ”Happy New Year” in the post fight interview. Today is May 19th. Another example he’s suffering from a concussion and his comments shouldn’t taken literally. Fury took considerable punishment tonight, especially in round 9.
Tyson Fury on his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk: "I believe I won that fight, I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority of them. We both put on a good fight. His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion. We've got a rematch clause. I've had a split decision loss to a good little man. We run it back in October. Well done Oleksandr."
