I’m going to go home, eat some food, drink some beers, have some family time, walk the dog, go to the tip.“Me and Frank Warren will discuss the future. If there’s going to be another fight — I think they’re talking about October — then we’ll rock and roll.”Bruised and battered Fury, 35, was whisked to Riyadh airport for the flight home to Manchester.And he eased his pain by flying home aboard a £34million private jet — a state-of-the art Embraer Lineage 1000E, described as “the pinnacle” of private plane glitz.READ MORE ON TYSON FURYThe flying palace is equipped with a huge living area, queen-size bed, white leather seating, two bathrooms with a shower and “wine cellar”.The chartered flight will have cost around £12,000-an-hour to hire, including transit time and hours spent on the ground awaiting its VIP passenger and his entourage.Fury is expected to take up his mega-bucks option of an October rematch with Usyk, 37, after he claimed judges were swayed by war sympathies for his Ukrainian opponent.But he was later revealed to have congratulated Usyk after Saturday’s epic battle — and even pledged to join him on “holiday” in his war-torn nation.Most read in BoxingThe 6ft 9in British giant was humbled after taunting his 6ft 3in opponent early in the fight.He was left reeling by a barrage of blows which nearly KO’d him in Round Nine.Tyson Fury incredible ring walk at Usyk fightBut Fury clearly believed he had done enough to claim a points win and pulled Usyk in for a hug and kissed him on the head as they awaited the judges’ decision.Audio recordings revealed Fury told Usyk: “I’d like to come to Ukraine with my family and have a holiday with your family and you can come to my house and have a holiday with me.”And Usyk replied: “No problem, my friend.”Fury went on to tell him: “Good work Oleksandr.
