Joshua and Usyk resume worst heavyweight fight ever – Fury

Please share this story:

Tyson Fury called Oleksandr Usyk's win over Anthony Joshua one of the worst heavyweight fights he's ever seen.

The undefeated Ukrainian defended his unified WBO, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles by winning a brilliant 12 round split decision in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

In a video posted on his Instagram story as he watched the scrapbook surrounded by his friends and family.

“After watching this I can say this is one of the worst heavyweight fights I have ever seen,” he wrote on his Instagram story.

"I would destroy them both in the same night.

"Pull out your checkbook because the Gypsy King is here forever."

Hopefully Usyk's back-to-back wins over Joshua will set the stage for an exciting showdown with Fury, who has once again reversed his decision to retire from the sport.

Following his win, Usyk called Fury - the WBC title holder - in a bid to put together an undisputed fight that could be worth up to £100m for the two unbeaten boxers. No man has held every major heavyweight title in boxing since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

Fury has until Friday to decide whether he will keep his WBC belt or accept a fight with Usyk which will likely be held in the Middle East at the end of the year.

And after his victory over Joshua, Usyk said: "I want to fight him and if I don't fight Tyson Fury, I'm not fighting at all. God only knows if I will fight him or not, but all these gentlemen here around me, my team, they will help me."
