The Ukrainian produced a sensational performance to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the 21st century.
But with the victory comes heartbreak for the Fury family as Tyson, 35, experienced his first loss since the start of his professional boxing career in 2008.
His daughter Venezuela, 14, has since taken to social media to share a touching message about her dad.
“Win or lose, he’s still the best in my eyes,” she penned on TikTok.
“He’ll be back to take those belts when it’s rematch time.”
The world tuned in to watch the Gypsy King and Ukrainian fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
With sporting immortality up for grabs, the night was always going to include fireworks.
But Tyson claimed after the fight that Usky’s “country is at war so people are siding with him” after the split decision defeat.
“I believe I won that fight,” he said.
“He won a few of those rounds but I won the majority.
“What can you do, one of them daft decisions in boxing.
“We’ve all put on a good fight, the best we can do.
“His country is at war so people are siding with a country at war but make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion and I’ll be back.”
Doting wife Paris, 34, was hard to spot in the crowd during the night, despite always sitting ringside for Tyson’s clashes.
Ahead of the fight, she confessed her nerves by saying it couldn’t “come quick enough”.
Paris and Tyson have been together since they were teenagers – but she has been very open about her dislike towards his career.
I hate being there, but on the other hand, I feel like I have to be there
Paris Fury, on Tyson’s fights
“I hate it,” she previously said. “I’ve got to be truthful, that’s the flat out answer.
“I support him but I don’t enjoy it.
“I hate being there, but on the other hand, I feel like I have to be there.
“I feel like, if I’m not there, what happens if something goes wrong and I’m not with him.
“So, that’s the brutality of the sport and that is the fact of it.
“You really are taking your life in your hands every time you go in there and unfortunately, that’s what he loves to do and that’s just his passion in life, so I’ve got to support him for it.
“But I don’t enjoy a minute of it.”
The couples other children are Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, Athena, two and baby Rico, eight months.
