Conor McGregor reacts to Tyson Fury Vs. Oleksandr Usyk’s thrilling undisputed heavyweight title fight

After years and years of talking, boxing’s undisputed heavyweight champion was crowned. Usyk produced a phenomenal performance, overcoming some mid-fight adversity to defeated Fury, almost stopping ‘The Gypsy King’ in the ninth round.

Following the decision Fury did state that he believed he had done enough to win the fight.

“I believe I won that fight. I think he won a few of those rounds but I won the majority of them,” Tyson Fury said. “His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion.”

Usyk is the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years and the first in the four-belt era. Usyk also captured the undisputed title at cruiserweight.

Fury has a rematch clause in his contract and will likely activate it and will fight Usyk in October of this year. This should give him enough time to full recover and get a solid camp under his belt before heading into another clash.

Always in and around big fights, McGregor took ton social media to give his take on the monumental event. The Irishman commended Usyk for his effort and expressed his content with the current state of boxing.

“A mad hiding! What next, who knows.”Usyk is incredible. He has beat both soundly,” McGregor said.

“Whatever moves towards Tyson AJ I am for. If Fury wishes to go a second try at the wheel, AJ had two attempts so why not. Tall ask. Not impossible also. If not, AJ Usyk III last hoorah, and then win lose or draw go Tyson AJ”: “What a time to be alive thank you to the fighting gods and to God.”

McGregor has appeared to be flirting with the idea of being involved in Saudi Arabia’s blossoming, and very well-paying boxing scene.

Who wins in the rematch, Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk?

Oleksandr Usyk delivers emotional tribute to his late father following epic win over Tyson Fury: ‘I know he’s here’

It was an emotional night for Oleksandr Usyk.

Stepping inside the ring for a long-awaited unification clash with Tyson Fury, the Ukrainian superstar defied the odds and handed ‘The Gypsy King’ the first loss of his career, securing a split decision victory to become the undisputed unified heavyweight world champion.

Addressing members of the media following his 22nd career win, ‘The Cat’ was understandably emotional, particularly when talking about his father who died shortly after his Olympic victory in 2012.

“I miss my father… I said to my father, ‘Hey, listen. You live there, I live here. Please, no coming for me. I love you.’ I know he’s here,” an emotional Usyk said with the support of those in attendance.

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter believes the referee saved Tyson Fury in round nine

After falling behind early, Oleksandr Usyk poured it on in the later rounds and even scored a knockdown in the ninth round after Fury used the ropes to keep himself upright following an onslaught of strikes from his opponent. Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk suggested that the referee essentially screwed his fighter out of a knockout, saying:

“I believe the referee saved Tyson from a knockout and stole the ninth-round knockout, which should have happened,” Krassyuk said.

However, Usyk wasn’t overly concerned with the ruling, especially since he walked away with the biggest win of his career regardless.

“No knock-out, no problem,” Usyk added. “I don’t think about it because we had a win.”

With a rematch clause built into their contract, we will likely see Usyk and Fury step back inside the squared circle later this year with rumors already swirling that the two will run it back in Riyadh this October.

Oleksandr Usyk earns hard fought split decision win over Tyson Fury to win undisputed championship – Highlights

Ukraine heavyweight star, Oleksandr Usyk has minted himself as the first undisputed heavyweight world champion in professional boxing in over 25 years tonight in Riyadh, landing a hard-fought split decision (115-112, 113-114, 114-113) triumph against WBC champion, Tyson Fury.

Usyk, who now adds the Morecambe Bay native’s WBC crown to his IBO, IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight crowns, did so in gruelling fashion against the British heavyweight, landing a stunning ninth round knockdown to boot in a thrilling encounter.

Fury, who had been sidelined since his victory over former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou late last year in Saudi Arabia, struggled with the timing and aggression of Oleksandr Usyk in the opening salvo of three rounds, before finding his range with a signature uppercut midway through the fight.

However, the British star and his corner were firmly sent to panic stations moments before the ninth round ended, with Usyk timing a wonderful left hook upstairs, rocking Fury and sending him back to the ropes with his legs far from study beneath him.

And looking to force the issue in the remaining seconds, Usyk tried to find a knockout blow on the feet with Fury stumbling and narrowly evading, before meeting the canvas.

Forced to a standing eight count and saved from the bell, Fury failed to overcome rounds in favor of the Ukrainian favorite in the remaining three frames — suffering his first professional defeat in boxing in the process.

Welcoming the chance to fight Usyk in the future in an immediate championship rematch, Fury claimed that given Ukraine’s ongoing war with invading, Russia, fans, pundits and judges alike were naturally going to favor Oleksandr Usyk if the bout went to the scorecards — before proclaiming he should have won the bout via decision.

Canadian musician, Drake may currently find himself embroiled with fellow music star, Kendrick Lamar, however, that hasn’t stopped the star splashing cash once more on a high-profile combat sports fight – this time slapping over half a million dollars on Tyson Fury to beat Oleksandr Usyk in the pair’s heavyweight title fight tonight in Saudi Arabia.

Sidelined since last year, Morecambe native, Tyson Fury narrowly left the region with his unbeaten professional record in tact, suffering a knockdown en route to a close decision win over former UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou.

And as for current WBA, IBO, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion, Usyk, the fan-favorite pugilist improved to 21-0 himself back in August, knocking back the threat of Daniel Dubois with a ninth round knockout win in Poland.

Sure to garner massive attention tonight in the Middle East, Fury’s title fight showdown with Usyk has landed a huge wager in the process, namely in the form of Drake – who awaits a payout worth over $1,000,000 – with the Canadian placing a $565,000 bet on the British fighter to unify the titles.

Most recently, Drake landed himself a hefty payout after wagering $675,000 on current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira to retain his championship crown at UFC 300 back in April – with the Brazilian scoring a first round knockout win over challenger, Jamahal Hill.

However, prior to that victory, Drake lost $700,000 betting on former middleweight champion, Sean Strickland to defeat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 earlier this year in his native Canada.

Is Drake right to back Tyson Fury to take out Oleksandr Usyk?

Tyson Fury sends ominous warning to Oleksandr Usyk 24 hours before fight night: ‘I’m coming for his heart’

Tyson Fury isn’t just coming for Oleksandr Usyk’s titles — he wants his heart.

On Saturday, May 16, one of the most anticipated heavyweight scraps in boxing history will go down as reigning WBC titleholder Tyson Fury goes toe-to-toe with the current WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO world champion Oleksandr Usyk in a winner-take-all title tilt to crown a new unified heavyweight king.

Originally scheduled to go down in February, the long-awaited showdown was pushed back after ‘The Gypsy King’ sustained a cut while training.

With 24 hours to go before they meet inside Kingdom Arena in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, Fury and Usyk came together for one final face-off on Thursday. There, the two got into a shoving match that forced security to step in and bring an end to the scuffle.

We definitely don’t need another John Fury headbutting incident.

Speaking with a reporter for DAZN, Fury launched an explicit-filled rant directed at Usky and his entire team, letting the Ukrainian know that it’s not just his gold he’ll be coming for on fight night.

“We’re ready to rock and roll. Fireworks tomorrow night,” Fury said on stage. “I’m going to knock this little f*cker’s spark out. I’m coming for his heart, that’s what I’m coming for. F*ck his belts, I’m coming for his f*cking heart. He’s getting it tomorrow, spark out.

“F*ck him and f*ck all of his team too. F*ck the lot of them. They can all get it if they want too, sh*thouses!”

Who leaves with their ‘O’ and all the gold when tyson fury throws hands with ‘the cat’?

Tyson Fury enters the bout with a perfect 34-0 record and 24 of his wins coming by way of knockout. In his most recent outing, Fury narrowly escaped defeat, walking away with a very contentious split decision victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Like Fury, Usyk is unbeaten in his boxing career, going 21-0 with 14 KOs.

Easier said than done I understand, he’s a tricky man, good boxer, slick. But I have seen many people like him before and when they fight the big men they struggle… He’s going to lose, I will break him for sure,” Fury added.
