On May 18, in the main event of a boxing night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury lost to Usyk by split decision. At stake was the title of absolute heavyweight champion.
"I've never seen Tyson so nervous, he was really nervous and on edge. During the staredown fight, he didn't want to look his opponent in the eye. It was like he cut someone off with his car and then that person stopped next to him.
It seemed to me that Fury was too nervous. He entered the ring without confidence that he can beat Usyk," - quotes Froch talkSport.
