Tyson Fury's wife pens touching message after 'The Gypsy King's' loss to Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury's wife, Paris Fury, has taken to Instagram to express her support for her husband in the wake of his first-ever professional boxing loss, which was handed to him yesterday by Oleksandr Usyk. The pair boxed for 12 hard rounds in pursuit of undisputed status.
In the end, Usyk got his hand raised, but Fury has no shortage of supporters. His wife punctuated her Instagram stories with her devotion for her husband. Her third Instagram story, however, featured an emotional vow to never allow him to fight without her by his side again, as she was noticeably missing last night.
"19 and 20 on this newly married, love him more than ever, best man in my eyes. Will never not be at your side for a fight again. Even though I couldn't be there, I wished I was. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy law."
The pair are noticeably close, as his wife is often present at ringside for his fights, as noted on her Instagram story. Unfortunately, this time Fury suffered a split-decision loss to Usyk, whose pressure was relentless throughout their bout.
Usyk even managed to rock 'The Gypsy King,' almost knocking him down, with only the ropes keeping him up. A split-decision, however, was all Usyk could have hoped for. Now, a rematch seems to be on the cards for both.
Tyson Fury disagrees with the outcome of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury just suffered the first loss of his professional boxing career. He was on the receiving end of punishment toward the latter half of the bout, and would have been knocked down were it not for the ropes keeping him standing.
"His country is at war, so people are siding with someone whose country is at war. I won that fight."

Despite the loss, Fury feels his work in the early and middle rounds should have been enough to earn him the nod. He even accused the judges of being sympathetic to Ukraine's war, which resulted in Usyk's win.
