What next for Tyson Fury? The Gypsy King will return home to consider his next steps after losing out to Oleksandr Usyk in the battle for undisputed heavyweight glory.

To Tyson Fury, comebacks are customary. He does them better than most. The Gypsy King just missed out on the greatest prize in boxing, to a sweet science sorcerer no less, but he will be back. The lure of the fans, the fights and the theatre will see to that. The Kingdom Arena erupted on Saturday night as pyrotechnics and Bonnie Tyler vocals serenaded the Fury entourage, spearheaded by their 'hero' ahead of the biggest heavyweight bout in 25 years.

Come the ninth and Fury was in survival mode as he staggered from corner to corner amid a defining Usyk assault, all 6ft 9in and 262lbs of him refusing to hit the canvas for good. By the end of round 10 he had rediscovered that fleet-footed bounce, allowing Usyk no respite in his bid to see out victory. Usyk had been forced to work harder than ever before in his professional career, forced to concentrate more than ever in his career.
