This is one day before the FIFA World Cup final in neighbouring Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>Fury took to Instagram with rapid-fire hot-takes that started speculation flowing before Joshua even had the chance to wrap up his bizarre post-fight rant.<\/p>\n<p>Fury said: \u201cAfter watching that, the both of them were s***e. It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen. It was bulls***. Come on! I annihilate both of them on the same night. F***ing s***e.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another now-deleted post, Fury said: \u201cI have just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk, out of his depth. England has been relieved of its belts yet again, as usual, but there is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want both belts back then send in the gypsy barbarian of England, come on!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSend me in, I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser [Wladimir Klitschko], but it\u2019s not going to be cheap. If you want the best then you\u2019ve got to pay. It\u2019s going to be very expensive, so get your f***ing cheque book out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser of them belts.\u201d<\/p> <p>Promoter Warren was quick to pour fuel on the fire, suggesting the fight is already not far from being made. He told Sky Sports: \u201cThere were talks before the [AJ] fight and Tyson had to make his mind up. But he\u2019s made his mind up and he wants the fight, Usyk wants the fight and we\u2019ve got to work out a way to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey both know that the fight\u2019s worth a lot of money \u2013 which it is \u2013 so is it going to go back to Saudi, is going to go somewhere else, who knows? One thing\u2019s for sure: there\u2019s no problem in making the fight. Both camps get on very well with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what about Usyk? Well, the Ukrainian was typically blunt with his assessment of a fight with Fury: \u201cThat\u2019s what I am dreaming every day. I\u2019m going to beat his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\"><b>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"&quot;s3&quot;\"><b>TV Guid<\/b><strong>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a><strong> or visit our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sport\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a class=\"&quot;in-cell-link&quot;\" href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
