Tyson Fury brutally trolled by Oleksandr Usyk’s team after bizarrely claiming he lost because it was ‘probably too easy’

By

TYSON FURY has been brutally trolled by Oleksandr Uysk’s camp after he claimed he lost the fight between the two because it was “too easy”.

The Gyspy King tasted the first defeat of his career as the judges awarded the Ukranian the win by a split decision on May 18.

Since the fight, Fury has come out and suggested that he lost the fight because it was “too easy”.

The Morecambe boxer insisted that it became a problem for him as he was “messing around” in the ring,

Uysk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk has now trolled Fury in his reponse to his comment.

Krassyuk suggested another example that Fury had believed would be an easy one in his bout against Francis Ngannou.

He said: “Second easiest fight after Ngannou.”

Fury, 35, faced the UFC heavyweight champion in a crossover fight back in October last year.

Billed as Battle of the Baddest, Fury came out on top but was far from convincing.

Fury was even knocked down in the third round by Ngannou but survived in order to win the fight by a controversial split decision.

Fury admits he undersestimated Ngannou after controversial win

By
Tyson Fury and Francis Nnanganou

Tyson Fury admits Francis Ngannou proved to be a far bigger hurdle than he expected after a contentious split-decision victory.

The Gypsy King, 35, hit the canvas after a huge left hook in the third round but recovered to win 96-93 and 95-94 on two judges’ cards, with the other scoring it 95-94 for Ngannou.

Fury’s WBC title was not on the line for the crossover event against the former UFC heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia.

He said: “That definitely wasn’t in the script.

“He’s given me probably one of my toughest fights in the last 10 years.

“Francis is a hell of a fighter, strong, big puncher, and a lot better boxer than we all thought he would be.

“He’s a very awkward man and he’s a good puncher and I respect him a lot.”

Ngannou, 37, took the decision with grace and warned the world of boxing that he had developed a taste for the sweet science.

He said: “It didn’t go my way.

“I might have come up short today. I’ll come back. Now I know I can do this.

“We can run it back again and I’m sure I’m going to get better.

“Get ready. The wolf is in the house. I’m going to bite some sheep.”

Despite Ngannou’s call for a rematch, Fury’s focus will now turn to his undisputed heavyweight title showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair were expected to collide in December and traded words after last night’s near-upset but Frank Warren has confirmed the fight has been put back until early 2024.

Joshua may return Dec 23 With The Toughest Opponent

By
Anthony Joshua

has floated the idea that Anthony Joshua could fight on the same night as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk’s four-belt unification clash.

The two heavyweights signed contracts to set up the undisputed championship fight last week, and the fight will take place in Saudi Arabia.

The hotly anticipated clash will come hot on the heels of Fury’s fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in October, with reports hinting that the date could be either December 23, or January 2024.

Boxing fans could find themselves treated between another high-profile bout on the night, with the rescheduled meeting of Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr also tipped to be on that same night.

Eubank and Benn were due to meet in 2022 before Benn failed two drugs tests ahead of the meeting.

The 26-year-old was cleared by UKAD over the two positive VADA tests this July.

But as per the Sun, Hearn suggested that the night could also feature a fight for Joshua, as negotiations over when AJ will face American rival Deontay Wilder continue.

“It could go on December 23, maybe even as well.

“December 2 is a fantastic card that we’re announcing on Saturday night for Britain and 23rd is our date for Benn-Eubank.

Anthony Joshua

And I truly believe that fight will get made for that date.’

Facing a clash between Benn-Eubank and Fury-Uysk, Hearn demurred as to what could happen if the latter also opted for the late-December night.

Look if we get the Eubank fight made, we will go December 23rd. Because we will have to announce that in the next two weeks.

“I don’t know whether they’re going to go December 23rd, maybe there’s some conversations with them before we announce our fight.

“But that’s our date and whilst the other fight is not announced there’s a good chance we’ll go straight up and announce.

“But we’ll have to see. Obviously, we don’t want to go on the same night, it doesn’t make sense for either fight. But we’ll see.”

On the subject of Joshua facing off with Wilder, which Hearn previously talked up as an opportunity for the British fighter to ‘knock out’ the Bronze Bomber, the promoter suggested the venue could either be ‘Vegas or Wembley’.

“I think both guys actually genuinely want the fight and when you get fights like Fury-Usyk made it does give everybody a little nudge to say,
