    In May, Tyson Fury suffered a first pro defeat to a guy who he had previously labelled a "blown up middleweight".

    Oleksandr Usyk was perhaps seconds away from stopping Fury in the ninth round. So has the defeat humbled Fury?

    Seemingly not.

    In a foul-mouthed social media outburst earlier this month, Fury told Usyk: "You are about to feel the wrath of the Gypsy King. Should of finished me when you had the chance. You had your shot but couldn't finish the job."

    What a night it was on May 18. It was an enthralling fight, with Tyson Fury starting strongly before the bout swung dramatically in Oleksandr Usyk's favour.

    Usyk figured out the Fury puzzle, the first man to do so and the Briton was given a standing count in the ninth round.

    Fury survived to the bell, even winning the final round but the narrowest of scorecards came out in Usyk's favour.
