"I would like to visit Ukraine": Fury addressed Usyk after the fight

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) expressed a desire to visit Ukraine and spend a vacation with the family of Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), to whom he lost a fight on May 18. The Gypsy King, as the Briton is called, also invited our compatriot to his native Morkham.

Fury said this during a conversation with Usyk after the fight in Riyadh, and the video was published by TNT Sports on its Instagram page. Tyson thanked Oleksandr for a good fight and noted that he would be happy to come to our country.

"Oleksandr, thank you, bro. You are very strong, you are a very kind person. You are my brother in Christ. I would like to come to Ukraine with my family and spend a vacation with your family, and you come to my home and spend a vacation with me," Fury said.

In response, Usyk said that he did not see any problems with this and accepted the British boxer's offer, with whom he is scheduled to rematch in October. On May 18, the Ukrainian won the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion by split decision.

After the fight, Fury called the war in Ukraine one of the reasons for his defeat. At the same time, referee Mark Nelson's decision to score Tyson a knockdown in the ninth round drew criticism from experts. Usyk was hospitalized immediately after the fight.

World lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) reacted to his compatriot's victory in three words.
