    The man has always been the ultimate confidence fighter, he lost his zero and the major source of his confidence and bragging rights were from his zero which has been snatched from him by Usyk in style.

    He stated in an interview that he will quit boxing the day he gets beaten in the ring because it will prove he is not good enough and is a shite fighter.

    Will we now see him go back into depression and alcoholism and 400 pounds again?

    his first official defeat that is. he shouldn't have been "undefeated" for a very long time.

    I think Joshua vs Fury has to be made now.

    He isn't beating usyk imo. But he showed he is still the best of the rest

    Can he handle being number 2??

    My bet he has the rematch and the same happens again. Usyk proving the stronger fighter and winning another decision

    Not a fan of Fury but no there's still many big fights for him a possible rematch vs Usyk or a big fight in the UK vs AJ.

    He should rematch Usyk. It’s a lot of money to be made. It was a very good fight. Fury didn’t embarrass himself, far from it, around round 6 it looked like he was going to win and possibly by stoppage. I don’t think he will do as well in the rematch but I say go for it. Make the money and then win or lose walk away

    No, it's not. He was competitive with Usyk and had he been able to avoid getting clocked in 9th, he might have won

    I thought he looked very good, just got beat by the better fighter. He has a rematch clause in front of him and potentially a lucrative grudge match with AJ. No reason to retire now.

    Fury and AJ should happen next. Winner gets shot again at Usyk.

    He'll keep going until he gets murdered by a younger, hungrier fighter.

    He did pretty well tonight but he looks like a guy who should be thinking about calling it a day. He vanished from the fight for the last 5 rounds.

    Only now we will see how much and if Fury is a great boxer and man.
    P.S. Fury still has a chance to win the trilogy against Usyk

    Some fighters cannot mentally cope with being the 2nd best in the division. It breaks them mentally. We've seen it time and time again in boxing. Not all fighters are like that though. AJ seems perfectly fine and has accepted the fact that he's not the best. Fury doesn't come across as the type of man who is mentally tough enough to handle that.
