It provided an image that will live in sports folklore forever: a former UFC heavyweight champion standing over Fury having knocked him down in his first boxing bout.“What he said at the end there for Usyk, ‘Clear the ring out, we’re going to go right now,’ no-one’s buying it anymore,”“Tyson Fury, dare I say it, looked a little bit washed and I don’t know why.”
“I can’t believe what I watched. I’m amazed that on this night Francis BOXED with Tyson Fury and damn well could have had his hand raised.”A penny for the thoughts of Fury’s promoter Frank Warren and Top Rank founder Bob Arum, too, having seen ‘The Gypsy King’ almost lose what seemed like the unlosable.
Given Fury had also targeted a December date to take on Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown, those plans could also be up in smoke, partly because of a cut Fury sustained on his forehead.
