- ‘I was hoping Joshua could win the fight’, admits Fury
- WBC champion will fight Deontay Wilder on 9 October
Tyson Fury says he was “absolutely wounded” by Anthony Joshua being defeated by Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua lost his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles as Ukraine’s Usyk secured a unanimous decision win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Earlier this year it appeared Joshua was set for an all-British showdown with Fury, the WBC champion, before before a court ruling in May saw the latter ordered to have a third bout against Deontay Wilder.
