Tyson Fury bizarrely nitpicks about Oleksandr Usyk's win in their first fight during rematch faceoff: "10 clean shots on the chin, no canvas touch"

Tyson Fury recently raised peculiar criticisms about Oleksandr Usyk's victory in their initial bout ahead of their upcoming rematch. The much-anticipated fight is set to take place this Saturday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Usyk will defend his WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight titles.

The two heavyweight superstars first collided in May, with 'The Cat' claiming a gritty split-decision victory. This triumph not only solidified the undefeated Ukrainian's status as the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era but also marked Fury’s first professional defeat.

During a recent face-to-face interview, Usyk was asked about his performance, especially the ninth-round instance when he left Fury with shaky legs. Usyk described it as a flawless moment, noting how it had the Brit on the back foot.

'The Gypsy King', however, quickly fired back, pointing out that despite those successes, he still hadn't been able to knock him out:

"You had your little chance to knock me out, didn't you? But you couldn't do it, b*tch, could you? You hit me with 10 shots in a row and couldn't do it. You couldn't even put me down after I was on bambi legs. You hit me with 10 shots, 10 clean shots on the chin, and I never touched the canvas. You're f**ked in the rematch. Like Tupac [Shakur] said, 'You hit me with your best shots and couldn't do f**k all.'"

Tyson Fury's coach reflects on emotional tragedy that left 'Gypsy King' shattered during first Oleksandr Usyk fight

In a recent interview with SunSport, coach Andy Lee detailed how a range of factors negatively impacted Tyson Fury's performance leading up to his first bout with Oleksandr Usyk.

Lee shared that it was only in October that 'The Gypsy King' revealed his wife, Paris Fury, had suffered a miscarriage prior to his undisputed heavyweight title fight:

"I wasn't aware of it [Paris' miscarriage]. I knew she was expecting a child. She's always at the fights, and I was expecting her to be there, really. When she wasn't there, I thought maybe she couldn't fly or something like that. Tyson never mentioned it. He never mentioned it once, but he was very quiet."
