PARIS FURY has broken her silence after husband Tyson’s first-ever loss in an emotional social media post.
The Gypsy King was beaten over 12 thrilling rounds with Usyk crowned as the inaugural four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.

His wife Paris – who he began dating as a teenager – was not in Saudi Arabia to watch the historic title bout.
But she vowed to make it the last time she ever misses her man fight after paying tribute to him online with a throwback snap.
Paris wrote on Instagram: “19 and 20 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.”
Fury, 35, and Usyk, 37, are already contracted to a rematch which is being eyed for October back in Saudi.
But the beaten Brit admitted he is in the dark over a sequel with his great Ukrainian rival as the father-of-seven looks forward to family time.
Fury said in the post-fight press conference: “Straight in the old truck, dog in the back, to the tip, all the same old stuff, picking up dog s*** and cleaning out nappies.
“On Monday morning when I’m home doing the school run and the kids are shouting and screaming, and the belts are not to be seen and it’s all back to normal, what will it mean then to me?

TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK AS IT HAPPENED: RELIVE ALL THE ACTION FROM THE UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE THRILLER
“It won’t mean anything. For me, it’s just another day at the office, like sitting at the bus stop on Morecambe front and getting wet through and sand hitting you in the face, it’s just another day for me. Just another day in the ghetto.”
The decision on a second fight will ultimately come down to Fury as his promoter Frank Warren confirmed the option to run it back.
Warren said: “It’s his call, whatever Tyson wants to do it’s up to him. The clause in the contract says immediate rematch.”

For all the love for resurgent AJ… these two are head, shoulders and fists ahead of everyone else
OLEKSANDR USYK is the deserved undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, writes Wally Downes Jr
A great biggun doesn’t always beat a great littleun, not when David has the weight of a besieged nation on his shoulders and is able to swing each compatriot into every punch.
Usyk did what Usyk does, he moved magnificently, he counter punched and he outworked his taller and heavier opponent.
He somehow manages to use every physical disadvantage to his favour.
But what the hell is Fury doing getting up in round nine?
Why is a father-of-eight with £300million in the bank, three best-selling books and a Netflix series going to the well like?
Britain is not fighting back Putin’s army, Morecambe is not occupied.
So when the 35-year-old’s senses are scrambled, when the canvas is calling him, when he is so desperate not to be felled he is willing to bounce around all the ropes like a drunk, when he eventually has to collapse into a corner, why doesn’t he just stay down?
He has earned the right to surrender as well as his millions.
The sheer courage and guts and bloody mindedness it takes to climb off that deck, with a broken nose and a crumbling ego is not comprehensible to us mortals.
Fury said he felt he won the fight but was too dignified to call robbery or corruption, no doubt his dad will taint that decency by the time you’ve read this.
The rematch will be superb.
Because for all the love we have for a resurgent Anthony Joshua – who was ringside for that iconic event – these two polar opposite men are head, shoulders, fists, hearts and brains ahead of everyone else.
There is the top two, then there is a void and then there is the rest.
