Usyk defeated Fury.

Tyson Fury has the option to face Oleksandr Usyk for a second time later this year, but one former world champion is uncertain whether he takes it.  

Johnny Nelson watched Fury lose his WBC crown to Usyk this past weekend and now he thinks a second fight may never materialise. 

Usyk won via split decision following a brilliant second half in the contest when he got on top following a dominant round nine.  

Fury will have plenty of choices if he decides to fight on, but Nelson has had his say on what Fury might do next. 

“I know there’s a rematch clause. I really don’t think that’ll happen,” said Nelson when speaking to Seconds Out

“How will Tyson be able to get his head around that? Especially when he looks at round nine when he looks at his performance.”
