Johnny Nelson of Sky Sports Boxing has raised questions about Tyson Fury’s future following his first career defeat. “What more can he do? How can he progress from this? This loss should make him reflect and touch his heart,” Nelson commented. Fury suffered his first defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk by split decision, relinquishing his WBC title and his undefeated record. This victory made Usyk the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

In the brutal and decisive ninth round, Fury was knocked down by a vicious punch from Usyk, barely saved by the bell after enduring a relentless attack. After the fight, Fury protested the decision and expressed his desire for a rematch later this year.

Nelson of Sky Sports Boxing observed, “I think Tyson Fury will be devastated by this. Tyson’s team will have serious conversations about motivating him after this and helping him regain his spirit. Don’t be surprised if Tyson steps away from this.”

Usyk started the fight brighter, winning the opening round. Fury regained control in the middle rounds, landing body shots on the Ukrainian. However, a powerful left hand from Usyk in the later rounds caused Fury to bleed from his nose. The decisive moment came in the ninth round when Mark Nelson administered a count after Fury was trapped in the ropes following Usyk’s onslaught.

The future of Tyson Fury now hangs in the balance. Can he bounce back and regain his form, or will he face mental challenges following this defeat? Only time will tell, but fans and experts alike are eagerly watching to see what the “Gypsy King” will do next in his storied career.
