Tyson Fury was very nearly knocked out by Oleksandr Usyk.
The British heavyweight had a torrid round nine and was caught by an Usyk combination that left ‘The Gypsy King’ stumbling all around the ring before falling into the ropes and being given a count by referee Mark Nelson.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has released new footage of team Fury during that round nine and it’s clear to see the concern on their faces.

Fury to his credit survived and amazingly recovered to finish the fight but ultimately lost his WBC belt to Oleksandr Usyk via a split-decision verdict from the judges at ringside.
This meant that Usyk won the only major belt that he was missing from his heavyweight collection and crowned his as the undisputed champion of the division.
Will Tyson Fury win the rematch? Let us know in the comments.
