TYSON FURY has broken his silence after suffering yet more undoubted heartache at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King had his dream of becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in almost 25 years shattered by the southpaw last month.

Fury, 35, suffered a split decision defeat in the historic Saudi final, but will have the opportunity to exact 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 belt earlier this week.
Fury, however, is apparently unconcerned and is solely focused on avenging his first professional loss rather than holding on to all the heavy hardware.
In an impromptu FaceTime with Saudi bigwig Turki Alalshikh and rival Anthony Joshua, he roared: “I’ll do it. I’ll do the fucking work.”
Joshua, who suffered back-to-back defeats to Usyk, replied sternly: “No, you won’t – but either way, I’m waiting for you.”
A defiant Fury responded to AJ’s verbal jab by saying: “I’ll get the job done.”
Fury was shocked when the judges anointed Usyk as the first undisputed heavyweight king since Lennox Lewis.
He recently said of the verdict: “I thought I took his head off most of the rounds.

“He landed a good right punch, that caught my nose.
“In the ninth round he had a 10-8 round, and I gave him the tenth round.
“Other than that, I didn’t give him any other rounds, I gave him eight, nine and ten rounds.
My problem with that fight was that it was probably too easy.
“Sometimes it was really easy, it was like I was there with a local amateur boxer and I was really enjoying it and joking around.
“And for that I paid the ultimate price in the ninth round, when I had too much fun and got hit.
“I’ve always been told, ‘Never mix work with fun.’ And I always put my middle finger on it.
“But now it’s come back to bite me. I still liked it, I thought, everything was fine.”
Fury will renew his rivalry with Usyk in another fight in Riyadh on December 21 and is confident he will get the job done a second time.
He added: “I’ve watched the fight many times and I 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 one round and one judge had him winning by one round. And then the last one made the decision.
“I have to get him out of there because I’m not going to get a decision, which is a shame because it’s hard enough to win a fight, let alone win when you knock someone out.
“But I am confident and looking forward to the challenge.”
