Tyson Fury seemingly comes out of retirement (again) to challenge Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury has seemingly once again reversed his decision to retire from boxing tonight, posting a video on social media challenging heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua by split decision in the duo’ highly-anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia, proving once again he is the best active heavyweight.
The only man many believe could challenge him is Fury, who said he had retired after knocking out Dillion Whyte in April, but the 34-year-old claimed he is ‘here to stay’ in the video.

‘Be honest with you guys, after watching that, both of them were s****!’ said Fury in a passionate response.
‘It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen. It was b*******.
‘Come on! I would annihilate both of them on the same night, f****** s****!
‘Get your f****** checkbook out, because the Gypsy King is here to stay forever!’

Usyk claimed after the fight that he wants to fight Fury next, or he will not fight at all.
‘I’m convinced Tyson Fury is not retired,’ Usyk told Sky Sports after his victory through translator and promoter Alexander Krassyuk.
‘I want to fight Tyson Fury, if I’m not fighting Tyson Fury then I’m not fighting at all.’

Joshua improved from the duo’s first bout last year, but the Ukrainian proved too strong for the man many are now touting the best pound-for-pound boxer around.
The night however may be remembered for Joshua’s bizarre behaviour after the final bell, where he threw two of Usyk’s belts out the ring before grabbing a microphone and delivering an out-of-character speech before Usyk could talk.
Several pundits and fans questioned the Brit’s behaviour, with Frazier Clarke apologising on behalf of the former champion on Sky.
