Following a second successive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia with world titles on the line, Tyson Fury was naturally asked about his future in the sport. Having retired a handful of times already, fans could be forgiven for taking his career announcements with a pinch of salt.

Those announcements came from a position of great power - one of boxing's top draws and an undefeated heavyweight champion. Now, a Ukrainian he often belittled as a blown-up middleweight - whom he also chastised Anthony Joshua for losing to twice - has, you guessed it... beaten him twice.

The two-time heavyweight champion stormed out of the ring once his promoter Frank Warren showed him the scorecards for the fight which read 116-112 across the board from the human judges and 118-112 from the first-time ever AI judge. Backstage, Fury insisted to the following pack of media that he had won that fight by at least three rounds.

Without saying he was cheated in Saudi Arabia, the Brit would heavily imply it. In the press conference, he was flatly asked what's next for him after coming up short in undisputed and then unified title fights, signalling the first losses of his entire professional career.
