LENNOX LEWIS has called for Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua next following his bitter second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
In May, Usyk became the first to defeat Fury with a stunning split-decision win in Saudi Arabia.

This time back in Riyadh, rather controversially the Ukrainian won a 116-112 unanimous decision with only four rounds scored in Fury’s favour.
With Usyk doing the double and looking towards a rematch against Daniel Dubois, British great Lewis called for 35-year-old AJ to face Fury.
He told TNT Sports: “He goes to London, the biggest fight in history, maybe Anthony Joshua.”
Fury stormed out of the ring when the decision was called out – leaving questions over his future for promoter Frank Warren to answer.
And Warren said: “I don’t know, I mean he’s very disappointed as I am.
“I’m not saying this to be biased, everyone along the front there we all thought it was the same way.”
Asked if 36-year-old Fury will fight again, Warren replied: “That’s up to him.
“It’s too early, it’s just after a fight emotions are running high. We’ll see. It’s nuts. Could you only give him four rounds out of eight?”

Dubois, 27, stormed into the ring to confront Usyk, 37, having been lost their 2023 fight following an infamous low-blow.
And Lewis said: “He could retire if he wants. He could do whatever he wants, he’s the champion.
“I don’t like to say there’s going to be a rematch and all of a sudden there’s not a rematch.”
