Tyson Fury is now turning his attention back to Oleksandr Usyk after talks to fight Anthony Joshua have fizzled out yet again.

“So, it looks like AJ has [expletive] his pants yet again,” Fury said. “After 11 years, he’s finally [expletive] his pants yet again. So, this would only lead me to a fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

“Listen, you got the decisions last time. Fair play to you. Good luck to you, but let’s do it again. Let’s run it back in November. The ball is now in your court, Oleksandr.
