Ricky Hatton reveals what Tyson Fury really thinks about Anthony Joshua fight

When Tyson Fury left Wembley Stadium on Saturday night it appeared that they Gypsy King would be retiring after the fight with his undefeated record in tact. However, it has since been claimed by former light-welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton that Fury is far from done in the sport and that a unification bout against either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk is up next.

Joshua and Usyk will have a rematch this year following the former's defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last autumn and Hatton, who is making a comeback of his own this year, says that Fury will only be finished if he fights either of those two. Usyk currently holds the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles after his unanimous win over AJ last September.

After his fight, Fury insisted that he would only participate in exhibitions, with a fight against UFC star Francis Ngannou on the cards. However, Hatton, a close friend of Fury's, claims that there could still be two major fights left in the 33-year-old from Wyhthenshawe.
