TYSON FURY has refused to confirm that he will fight again. The Gypsy King, 36, was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk via unanimous decision last night in Riyadh. Fury stormed out of the ring before speaking to the public. But during his post-fight press conference, he was asked if he will compete again.
He said: "What's next for me? I'm going home and having some time off.". Pressed if the public will see him fight again, Fury cryptically added: "You might do, you might not do. Who knows?. "We'll talk about that next year.". The Gypsy King also insisted that he felt he'd beaten Usyk.
He said: "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. "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.

An AI judge, unveiled earlier this week, had Usyk as 118-112 victor. When this was put to Fury, he huffed: "F*** all the computers, keep the humans going. "More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers. F*** electric cars too, while we’re at it.". A Ukrainian reporter asked Fury if he felt his opponent had taken inspiration from the spirit of his war-torn country.
