Tyson Fury has broken his silence after suffering even more misery at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King’s dreams of becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly 25 years were shattered by the clever southpaw last month.

Fury, 35, suffered a split decision loss in the historic Saudi bout but will have the opportunity to get his revenge on the Ukrainian in December.
But he won’t be winning all the heavyweight contests, as former pound-for-pound king Usyk vacated the IBF heavyweight championship earlier this week.
However, Fury isn’t concerned about that and is more focused on avenging his first professional loss than keeping all the heavyweight hardware.
“I’ll get this job done. I’ll get this f***ing job done,” he thundered in an impromptu FaceTime chat with Saudi bigwig Turki Al-Alshikh and rival Anthony Joshua.
Joshua, who had suffered two consecutive losses to Usyk, responded sternly: “No, you won’t – but either way, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Fury responded to A.J.’s verbal jabs by saying, “I’ll get the job done.”
Fury was stunned when the judges declared Usyk the first undisputed king of the heavyweights since Lennox Lewis.
He recently said of the decision: “I thought I punched him in the head most of the round.”

“He had the score 10-8 in the ninth round, and I gave him the tenth round.
“Other than that I didn’t give him any other rounds, I gave him eight, nine and ten rounds.
My problem with that fight was that it was probably too easy.
“Sometimes it was quite easy, it was like I was up there with a local amateur boxer and I was really enjoying it and messing around.
“And I paid a heavy price for that in the ninth round when I had too much fun and lost.
“I was always told, ‘Never mix your work with fun.’ And I always rejected that.
“But now it’s come back to bite me. I still enjoyed it, thought, it was all good.”
Fury will renew his rivalry with Usyk in another bout in Riyadh on December 21 and he is confident of winning the second time around.
He said: “I have watched the fight many times and my answer is still the same, I felt I did enough and won the fight. Usyk knows he didn’t beat me.
“It was a very close fight, one judge saw me winning by a round and one judge saw him winning by a round. And then the final judge made the decision.

“I have to get him out of there because I won’t be able to get a decision, which is unfortunate because it’s hard enough to just win a fight, it’s even harder to win when you knock someone out.
“But I am confident and looking forward to seeing what happens next challenge,
