TYSON FURY has trolled Anthony Joshua for “talking absolute rubbish” in the ring after losing to Oleksandr Usyk.
AJ was beaten on points for the second time in the space of a year to Ukrainian great Usyk.
But following a repeat result in their rematch in Saudi Arabia, Joshua raised eyebrows as he produced a bizarre post-fight speech.
AJ spoke about his late start in boxing after avoiding jail, how he is heavier than legends of the past and Ukraine’s series of wars.
Arch rival Fury, 34, took aim at Joshua, 32, by reposting a meme of himself on Instagram.
The WBC champion is pictured on his way to the ring in his last fight, with the caption: “AJ running back to the ring to talk absolute rubbish.”

Joshua clearly let emotions get the best of him as he was bettered by Usyk, 35, over 12 rounds for a second time.
He said: “If you knew my story you’d understand the passion.
“I’m no amateur boxer from five years old, that was an elite prospect from a youth. I was going jail, I got bailed, then I trained my arse off.
“Because if I got sentenced I wanted to be able to fight. I’m stealing this Usyk, sorry.

“It’s because the passion to get into this shit. This guy, to beat me, tonight maybe I could’ve done better.
“It shows the levels of hard work he must’ve had to put in. Please give him a round of applause as our heavyweight champion of the world.
“I’m not a 12-round fight, look at me, I’m a new breed of heavyweight.
“Heavyweights like Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, Jack Dempsey, ‘You don’t throw combinations like Rocky Marciano!’
“Because I ain’t 14 stone, that’s why, I’m 18 stone, that’s why, I’m heavy.”
Fury confirmed he would come out of retirement to fight Usyk, in what would be a first ever four-belt heavyweight unification.
He said: “After watching that, the both of them were s***e. It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen.
