TYSON FURY has slammed "bulls**t” the criticism of Anthony Joshua after his defeat to Oleksandr Uzyk, his domestic rival.
After being defeated by the Ukrainian in a Tottenham tussle last September, AJ was under intense scrutiny. He lost the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.

Fury, Fury's longtime rival, believes Fury has been unfairly criticized.
On Instagram, the Gypsy King retired said: "Tyson Fury [here] is my defense of AJ.
"Everyone is saying that AJ is a bum. He's this and that. He can't fight because he has lost a few fights.
"But AJ has achieved success in his life. He can go to the pub any day to drink Peroni if that's what he desires.

He can take a vacation every day and he can make plans with his children every day of his lifetime.
"So, I don't want any more bulls**t about AJ's this. He's that. He's useless. He can't fight.
"The man has made it. Be happy for him."

Gareth A Davies was told by him: "I think Usyk is too cute for me. Too smart, too fast and a southpaw.
Robert Garcia should train Usyk to be more aggressive and to get on the front foot.
"I don't see it, but then again, what do you know?
"It only takes one punch in heavyweight boxing.
"It wasn’t a complete win last time. Usyk had many marks on his face and was being cut up.
"He's not difficult to hit, Usyk. He's right there infront of you so clearly Joshua can land a big punch against him.
As we have seen many times, anyone can win a fight. Because Usyk has been fighting for so long, it's a great time to beat him.
"If ever he was going off his ball, now would be the time.
"I think Usyk is too good a fighter for AJ. I don't believe AJ can pressurize him for 12 rounds and drag him into a fight to knock him out.

"You must be an elite, special person to achieve that. I don't believe Joshua has the will to win that.
"He is happy to be in second, but he is too happy to be in second." Say no more if you are willing to settle for second.
