Tyson Fury scolds Anthony Joshua and drops Oleksandr Usyk hint in social media rant

Tyson Fury has launched a scathing assessment of Anthony Joshua’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

While the fallout from Joshua’s loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September has naturally focused on the 32-year-old, Fury has taken further issue with it too.

Clearly, there’s no absolute guarantee boxing fans would have been treated to a dream fight between the two British heavyweights but, with Joshua gearing up for a rematch, Fury has been forced into a potential bout with Dillian Whyte.

That, though an exciting notion, surely does not match the kind of showpiece Fury vs Joshua would have been.

Posting on social media, Fury said: “You know what I can’t believe? AJ has gone and given Ukraine [Okeksandr Usyk] all the heavyweight belts back after all my hard work in relieving them.”

Fury then promised to return the heavyweights belt back to Britain, perhaps suggesting he will one day meet Usyk.
