New backstage footage of Tyson Fury emerges after Oleksandr Usyk defeat and it doesn't look good

Usyk beat Fury by unanimous decision in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to retain his WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight titles.

Unseen footage of Tyson Fury’s reaction to his loss against Oleksandr Usyk has emerged – and it’s safe to say he wasn’t best pleased.

Fury, 36, and Usyk, 37, went toe-to-toe for a second time at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.

They previously fought back in May, with the Ukrainian securing a majority decision points victory, crowning him the undisputed heavyweight champion on that occasion.

Despite coming in at a career heaviest 20st 1lb, the ‘Gypsy King’ could not make his 55lb weight advantage pay on Saturday night as Usyk evaded most of Fury’s power shots only to reply with three of four-punch combinations of his own.

As Michael Buffer announced the judges' identical scorecards—all 116-112 in favour of Usyk—the Manchester-born heavyweight left the ring and did not speak to the media immediately after the fight.

However, new footage has surfaced on X, appearing to show an annoyed Fury walking away from the ring in the aftermath of learning his feat.

“The promotors, Oscar De La Hoya... said he had me four rounds up,” said Fury [via Fights Centre].

“It is what it is, innit.”

Fury continued to make his way towards the bowels of the arena, flanked by his team, who told him there was “no way” it was a “116-12”.

“It’s a no-hoper then completely,” he added.

“Every f*****g round.

“I’ll tell you what it is, you’re not getting nothing in these countries.”

“Robbed there, f**k ‘em

“I thought I won it by at least three rounds.”

The judges cards has Usyk up by four rounds meaning he won eight of the 12 scheduled.

“I bossed on [the] front foot all night…” stressed Fury.

Before he continued, further voicing his dismay at the result.

While former coach Ben Davison appeared to try and comfort Fury, the Morecambe-based heavyweight continued.

“I’ll tell you what it is, you’re not getting nothing in these countries,” exclaimed Fury.

Despite his protestations at the result, a Fury win would have benefitted almost everybody involved – apart from Usyk and his team.

If he registered a victory, this would have likely meant a third fight in the future to settle the score. But with Usyk now sporting two wins over Fury, a third bout is highly unlikely.

Usyk could face current IBF champion Daniel Dubois, who got in the ring and demanded a rematch with the unified champ, having previously been defeated by knockout against the Ukrainian back in August 2023.

For Fury, a fight which would make financial sense is one with fellow Brit and ex-world champion Anthony Joshua.
