Tyson Fury's one-sided chat with Oleksandr Usyk at Anthony Joshua event gets fans trolling on social media: "He schooled you too brother"
Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's one-sided chat with Oleksandr Usyk following Anthony Joshua's defeat to Daniel Dubois has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Fury, who was in attendance at Wembley Stadium to witness the heavyweight clash, praised Usyk for his "boxing lesson" to both Joshua and Dubois.
“You gave them both a real boxing lesson. I give you credit, you did well. That’s what boxing skills do. Skills pay the bills. You know what I mean?”

One fan wrote:
"…but Tyson, he schooled you too brother lol 😂."
