Tyson Fury claims Anthony Joshua's legacy is "in tatters" after OIeksandr Usyk defeat

Tyson Fury believes Anthony Joshua is not a top class boxer after losing three of his last five fights whilst claiming his legacy is "in tatters".

Joshua, 32, was outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in 11 months last weekend as he lost a split decision to the heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia. It was a valiant effort from the Brit and he did have more success against Usyk compared to their first meeting, but was ultimately outclassed by the Ukrainian as he suffered his second defeat on the bounce.

Fury is expected to end his retirement and fight Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight title fight since 1999, if potential bidders for the fight can meet his £500million demand. 'The Gypsy King' has insisted that Joshua's legacy is in question after his recent loss to Usyk, telling talkSPORT : No disrespect to Joshua, because he's a 25-3 fighter or whatever he is but at top class world level boxing, he just can't cut it.
