It's been revealed exactly what Tyson Fury's corner told up just moments before the final round of his bout against Oleksandr Usyk. In a thrilling contest where neither man refused to give an inch, it was Usyk who finished the stronger, just as he did seven months ago, to pick up a repeat victory.

Usyk became undisputed champion by just a single point in May as he earned a split decision win, but this time it was more clear-cut as all three judges scored the bout 116-112 in his favour. Fury promptly left the ring after the result was announced and swiftly claimed that he felt he'd won the bout by at least 'three rounds' before learning of his defeat.

However, it's now been revealed what the Gypsy King was informed by his team heading into the final round and it shows that he perhaps should've shown more ambition. According to The Sun, Fury's head trainer SugarHill Steward said: 'You've got to take it now. There ain't no tomorrow, you hear me? It's now.

Tyson Fury suffered a second career loss after taking on Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night. The British star was unable to get the better of his Ukrainian counterpart (right) on the night. 'The fight is too f***ing close, you need to take this mother f***er. You've got to keep your legs f***ng moving.
'Keep your god-damn hands up and give it everything you've got Tyson, you hear that? You've got to take it, don't get stupid, but you've got to take it'. Ultimately, Fury did not take it and suffered his second loss to the Ukrainian. The 36-year-old was later caught backstage by reporters and, when asked for his thoughts on the scorecards, the Gypsy King offered a surprise response.
