Tyson Fury suffers another defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, and boxing legend Evander Holyfield sends a message of support to the British champion.
Tyson Fury suffered his second professional loss this month, falling to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch for the heavyweight world title. Despite the disappointment, legendary fighter Evander Holyfield, who shares with Usyk the distinction of unifying the four major world titles across two different divisions, sent a message of encouragement to the “Gypsy King.”
This loss to Usyk has left Tyson Fury at a pivotal crossroads in his career. While the possibility of a trilogy with the Ukrainian is not yet off the table, Fury’s future could also include a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua. Though the hype surrounding this matchup has dimmed in recent years, it still holds significant appeal for boxing fans and could still prove to be a major draw.
With his victory over Fury, Oleksandr Usyk further cements his status as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. He joins a select group of fighters, including Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, who have successfully unified the four major world titles in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
