The build-up and aftermath to Fury’s first professional defeat was dominated by rumours of him having a poor training camp and getting “turned over” in sparring.

It was claimed he didn’t spar properly due to the cut which delayed his long-awaited meeting with the undefeated Ukrainian.

But during a sitdown face-off with DAZN, Fury insisted: “It was a fantastic training camp.

“Never once have I ever said I had any problems in camp because I didn’t.

“I heard a load of d***heads talking s**t that I had a lot of problems in camp.

“But I didn’t have any problems. I had a fantastic training camp.”

Fury was almost knocked out in the ninth round of the Riyadh rumble, for which he insists he has no excuses.

The 36-year-old said: “He beat me fair and square… give the man his props!

“I don’t understand why people have got an excuse like, ‘I lost the fight because I didn’t train great.’

“Or, ‘I lost the fight because the chef didn’t cook me the right foods.’

“He won the fight, that’s it. That’s the end of it. There’s nothing more to say.

“There’s no excuses, I had a fantastic training camp.

“I thought I did fantastic in the fight and he did fantastic.

“So, he got his result. Fair play, end of.

“There’s no more talking to be said, I did nothing wrong and I did everything good. So did he.”
