FURY FRUSTRATING
Tyson Fury breaks silence after suffering fresh undisputed heartache ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch
Usyk has landed another devastating blow on the Brit without even throwing a punch
TYSON FURY has broken his silence after suffering yet more undisputed heartache at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King had his dream of becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly 25 years shattered by the slick southpaw last month.

Fury, 35, suffered a split decision defeat in the historic Saudi straightener but will have the opportunity to exact his revenge on the Ukrainian in December.
But he won't be able to win all the heavyweight marbles as former pound-for-pound king Usyk vacated the IBF heavyweight strap earlier this week.
Fury, however, seemingly isn't fussed and is focused solely on avenging his first-ever professional loss more than holding all the heavyweight hardware.
In an impromptu FaceTime with Saudi bigwig Turki Alalshikh and rival Anthony Joshua, he roared: "I'll get it done. I'll get the f***ing job done."

Joshua, who suffered back-to-back defeats to Usyk sternly replied: "No you won't - but either way, I'm waiting for you."
A defiant Fury responded to AJ's verbal jab by saying: "I'm gonna get the job done."
Fury was shocked when the judges anointed Usyk as the first undisputed king of the heavyweights since Lennox Lewis.
He recently said of the verdict: “I thought I boxed his head right off him for most of the rounds.

“He landed a good punch in round reight, that busted my nose.

“Other than that I didn’t give him any other rounds, I gave him rounds eight, nine and ten.
My problem in that fight was that it was probably too easy.
“At times it was too easy, it was like I was in there with a local amateur boxer and I was enjoying it too much and messing around.
"And for that I paid the ultimate price in round nine when I had too much fun and got clipped.
“I was always told, ‘Never mix your work with having fun.' And I always gave my middle finger up to that.
"But now it has come back to bite me. I still enjoyed it, thought, it was all good.”
Fury will renew his rivalry with Usyk in another Riyadh rumble on December 21 and is confident of getting the job done second time around.
He added: "I have watched the fight back lots of times and still have the same answer, I thought I did enough and won the fight. Usyk knows he didn’t beat me.
“It was close enough, one judge had me winning by a round and one judge had him winning by a round. And then the final one made the decision.

“I have to get him out of there because I won’t get a decision, which is unfortunate because it’s hard enough to win a fight, let alone winning it when you have you knock someone out.
“But I am confident and looking forward to the challenge.”
