Oleksandr Usyk just beat Anthony Joshua in their rematch inside the Jeddah Superdome, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The bout was scheduled for twelve 3-minute rounds, and it went the entire distance. At the end, judges Viktor Fesechko and Steve Gray scored the bout in Usyk’s favor and Glenn Feldman in that of AJ’s. The boxing community had high hopes regarding the comeback of Tyson Fury following the Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk II fight.

As the bout ended, Fury took to social media and in a condescending tone criticized both Joshua and Usyk. He said, “After watching that. The both of them were shite. It was from one of the worst heavyweight title fights, I have ever seen. It was bullsh*t.”
