From his reaction, the Gypsy King who took to social media to criticise both fighters may not yet
be done with boxing.
Fury recorded the video of Usyk victory and Joshua reaction saying: “I am here to stay”.
“To bring the big GK out of retirement, to redeem this country YET AGAIN it’s going to cost.”
