But 33-year-old Fury was forced into a third fight with Deontay Wilder, leaving AJ, 31, to handle a mandatory defence against the Ukraine southpaw.

And 34-year-old Usyk proved to be the spanner in the works as he outpointed the Brit icon, blowing their fantasy fight to smithereens.

But Fury has no interest in gloating or sticking the boot in, despite feeling Joshua costing him.

Fury told IFL: “It was a bit of an anti-climax but no part of me was happy that he lost.
