Retired boxing legend Mike Tyson has expressed disappointment in the world heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, Metro reports.

Usyk put up a blockbuster performance to dethrone Joshua of his IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles at the Tottenham Stadium over the weekend.

Tyson who remains the youngest champion in the sport was unimpressed with Joshua and Usyk’s fight that he asked his fans if they thought any of the boxers could beat him during his prime.

Tyson wrote via Unilad:

“After watching Joshua vs Usyk fight, maybe they had a bad day that night. From that performance, do you really think they could have beat me in my prime?”

Usyk who previously conquered the cruiserweight division is now a two-weight champion as he is now undefeated in a total of 19 fights.

The Ukrainian follows in the footsteps of Evander Holyfield and David Haye by becoming just the third man to win world titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight.
