As expected, the WBC world heavyweight champion Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) criticized the rematch of Ukrainian WBA / WBO / IBF title holder Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) in Saudi Arabia and Briton Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).
Usyk, we recall, won on points by a split decision of the judges. According to Tyson, he clearly did not like what he saw. However, at the same time, he made it clear that he was ready for negotiations on the fight for the absolute championship, despite the fact that last week he once again announced his retirement.
“I’ll be honest with you guys after watching this (fight). They were both shit! It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen! That was some shit! I would destroy them both in one night. Fucking shit! Get your damn checkbook out because the Gypsy King is here forever!” Fury said.

Note that in a post-match interview, Usyk said that he would either fight Fury or not fight at all.
