Boxing superstar Tyson Fury has weighed in on the judges' scorecards for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk. After the bout, 'The Gypsy King' made an appearance at the post-fight press conference.

During his time there, the 35-year-old stated that the fight was a close affair and the result could have gone either way. Fury then began discussing his future in the sport and shared that as long as he still loved being inside the squared circle, he would continue to fight.

"Close fight. Could've nicked it, couldn't have. Whatever. Could've been a draw. Who knows? But, I haven't got the decision. I'm not gonna cry about it. We'll regroup. I'll have a holiday, go home, speak to the wife and kids and I'll see what I wanna do. You know, I ain't boxing in here because I got no money. I box it because I love it."

Fury continued:

"I'm 36 in a few months and I've been boxing since I've been a child... Where does it all end? Do you have a 100 fights and brain damage in a wheelchair? I'm not sure but the one thing is all the time, I'm still loving the game... then I'll continue to do it. And when I can't anymore, I'll pack it up."
