‘Stop pushing me’ – Unseen footage shows Tyson Fury’s furious backstage outburst after Oleksandr Usyk defeat
Tyson Fury lost his cool with a cameraman after falling to the first defeat of his professional career against Oleksandr Usyk.
The Mancunian missed out on the opportunity to become the inaugural undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era in May by the narrowest of margins.

Two of the judges scored the fight in Usyk's favour by tallies of 115-112 and 114-113 while the third had it 114-113 for him.
The contest ultimately hinged on the ninth round where Usyk scored a standing eight count on Fury.
Prior to this, Fury had looked in complete control during the middle rounds but the tides turned down the home straight.
When the scorecards were read out, Fury took it well.

duBoef replied: "He screwed around so much, he let the guy off the hook.
"He was dominating him, he was playing with him, he got careless."

Fury did a lot of showboating in the early rounds of their last outing and has vowed to cut that out when they look horns for a second time.
"I haven't made any adjustments and that's the truth," Fury told of his upcoming rematch.
"The only adjustments will be on fight night where I keep more focused and less clowning in the ring.
"I did a lot of showboating, a lot of messing around - more than I've ever done before, actually - against supposedly my toughest opponent.
"I did a lot of f***ing around and it ended up costing me."
