Tyson Fury ‘absolutely wounded’ by Anthony Joshua’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk

Boxer Tyson Fury has said he was “absolutely wounded” by Anthony Joshua’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday (25 September), saying he hoped that the British fighter could have found a way to beat the Ukrainian with three titles on the line.

Fury and Joshua have been trying to arrange a fight for a prolonged period, with a court ruling in May this year that the former was contractually obliged to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time – scuppering any chance of a bout between two of the biggest names in British professional boxing.
