The former world heavyweight champion criticized the behavior of his compatriot outside the ring.
Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in a fair fight, and the Briton deserved this defeat. This is what former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua said.
He also called his compatriot an idiot for his behavior outside the ring. According to Joshua, Fury’s statements are unacceptable.
“I’m glad Fury isn’t the undisputed champion. I think he’s an idiot.
If it had been anyone else, I might have thought it was a shame. I always say he’s an idiot, he’s so disrespectful. I don’t care, but I just feel that being unkind to other people makes him feel better.
I’m not competing with anyone. I have my own way, but he has to insult people to make himself feel good, which is bad.
The way he disparages Usyk, calling him a rabbit and a middleweight, is not good for the sport. If I respect you and you respect me, we can take this sport to the next level. People think we are two of the most elite boxers in the world.
But Fury will insult you like a guy just out of the pub, and he’s not on your level. He was beaten – he deserved it. Usyk is a good fighter – you can’t argue with that, you just have to give him credit and move on,” Joshua was quoted as saying by Boxing Scene.
Let’s remember that Joshua and Dubois previously had a battle of opinions before their own fight.
