Conor McGregor has a proposition for Tyson Fury after title loss

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia witnessed the clash of the heavyweight giants after months of anticipation. On that legacy-defining night, Usyk reigned supreme as he became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The fighting community got its first unified heavyweight champion after the 2000s. It was a legacy for Usyk but a disheartening event in Fury’s career as the undefeated fighter tasted defeat for the very first time.

Tyson Fury now has a record of 34 victories, 1 loss, and 1 no-contest. On the other hand, Usyk has an undefeated record of 22 straight victories. Fury tasted defeated after being undefeated for 16 years, talk about legacy! Nonetheless, Fury’s chances of defeating the Ukrainian have not lost as according to Conor McGregor, and the promotion should run a second fight between them.

“A mad hiding! What next, incredible. He has beat both soundly. Whatever moves towards Tyson AJ I am for. If Fury wishes to go a second try at the wheel, AJ had two attempts so why not. Tall ask. Not impossible also,” wrote McGregor on his Instagram story.

He further added, “If not, Aj Usyk III last hoorah, and then win lose or draw go Tyson AJ, and congrats and thank you @turkialalshik and all involved in this era of heavyweight fighting for getting all of this done. What a time to be alive thank you for the fighting it was gods and to God.” McGregor gave all the credit of the fights to the fighters. However, what’s next for the British giant? Let’s find out.

What’s next for Tyson Fury?

‘The Gypsy king’ has many options now that he has been defeated by Usyk. Well, let us give you a hint. Ahead of the match both of the fighters agreed that the loser of the match would be getting an immediate rematch irrespective of anything. So, the chances of Fury taking his chance against the new heavyweight champion are above astronomical numbers now.

Queensberry Promotions founder and Fury’s promoter Frank Warren acknowledged the rematch clause in the contracts while having a conversation with the ‘MMA Hour’, “The loser of the fight, which I hope to be Usyk, but the loser of the fight has the option to call for the rematch. That rematch, he will get extremely, extremely well paid for. Huge money. So I’d be very surprised, unless [Usyk] retires, [if] that will [not] happen. He won’t fight in September anyway, Tyson, he’s down to fight for the rematch if it happens in October,” said Warren.

Their clash may or may not happen this year but one thing’s for sure and that is the fact that Tyson Fury has a chance to redeem himself. What’s your opinion on their clash? Do you believe in the decision won by Usyk? State your thoughts in the comments below.
