Tyson Fury hinting at possibly never fighting again after second Oleksandr Usyk loss draws mixed fan reactions: "May he find peace"

Tyson Fury left the boxing world speculating about his future following a second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk. On Saturday, Usyk defended his WBO, WBA, and WBC heavyweight titles, securing a unanimous points victory over Fury.

The defeat mirrored their earlier clash in May, where Usyk emerged victorious via split decision. While Fury voiced his disagreement with the decision, the result further cements Usyk’s dominance in the heavyweight division.

With two losses to the same opponent, the prospect of a trilogy has dimmed, leaving Fury’s next steps unclear. Fury remarked at the post-fight press conference:

“I might do [fight again], I might not”

Some believe Fury’s career has run its course. One fan wrote:

“The Hitman retired him 🥶”

Another wrote:

“May he find peace and ease after the loss.”

Others anticipate a comeback, with one stating:

“I think he will. The man came back from much worse than that, and he won’t end his career with 2 losses. He’ll want to come back and win against AJ”

Oleksandr Usyk hails Tyson Fury as toughest British opponent

Oleksandr Usyk has declared Tyson Fury the toughest British boxer he has ever faced. It's a bold statement considering he has victories over notable fighters like Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

The 37-year-old’s latest win brought his undefeated record to 23-0 and cemented his legacy as one of the sport’s greats. Reflecting on the rounds shared with Fury, Usyk claimed 'The Gypsy King' is the toughest opponent he has faced so far. During the post-fight press conference, he said:

"It's Tyson Fury."

Throughout his illustrious career, Usyk has conquered several British champions. He knocked out Tony Bellew in 2018, defeated Anthony Joshua twice on points, and stopped Daniel Dubois in nine rounds last year. Yet, none of those battles compare to the test Fury provided in their two fights, according to Usyk.

Usyk also expressed admiration for Fury, acknowledging the significant role the British fighter played in strengthening him as an athlete:

"This is my best friend... I'm very respectful of this guy, because I think he's very tough, my opponent. Tyson Fury makes me strong. Tyson Fury continues to - not like motivate me - but Tyson is a great opponent. He's a big man, he's a tough boxer."[H/t: The Mirror]
