Tyson Fury suspended from boxing after brutal defeat to Oleksandr Usyk… but Gypsy King is still set to activate rematch clause

Tyson Fury has been handed a one-week ban from boxing following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last weekend.

The Gypsy King suffered his first professional defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, losing split decision after the judges scored the bout 115-112, 113-114, 114-113.

It meant that Usyk became the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division after taking the WBC title off Fury, which was added to his WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and IBO titles.

Fury was in big trouble on the ropes at one stage of the fight with many arguing that the referee could have stopped it.

And it has been revealed that the UAE Boxing Commission gave him a rather meaningless one-week medical suspension which meant that he would not have been allowed to fight until this weekend.

The Brit suffered nothing more than cuts and bruising from the brutal 12-round contest.

Usyk, who had to be taken to hospital after the fight due to fears over a broken jaw, is not allowed to compete until June 2.

Fury and Usyk look set to run it back later this year with promoter Frank Warren confirming his fighter’s intention to activate his rematch clause.

‘There will be a rematch,’ Warren said. ‘I think it will be better than the original fight.’

‘They both know each other, they’ve shared the ring and they’ll be looking to use what they’ve gained from the fight as an advantage to beat their opponent.’
