Tyson Fury brands Oleksandr Usyk 's****' after defeating Anthony Joshua as he teases reversing retirement call

Tyson Fury has challenged world champion Oleksandr Usyk in a foul-mouthed blast after the Ukrainian saw off Anthony Joshua to retain his heavyweight belts - just months after Fury declared he was done with boxing.

Joshua lost on split decision in Saudi Arabia as Usyk defended his heavyweight titles, beating Joshua for a second time after the Ukranian also successfully saw off the British fighter last September. Moments after Usyk's hand was raised, Joshua also appeared irate lifting two of the champion's belts, throwing them out of the ring and then arguing with the opposing team during Usyk's celebration.

He then picked up the microphone and went on an expletive-filled rant covering everything from the fight, his career, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, before eventually asking the crowd to cheer for the victor. Fury appeared to be lapping up the dramatic night of boxing as he offered his take after the bout.
