TYSON FURY fears that Anthony Joshua’s fifth round knockout defeat by Daniel Dubois has “cost him £150million”.
The Gypsy King’s X-rated outburst hinted that his planned mega fight against Watford boxer Joshua could be off the table.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Joshua was one win away from a potential HALF-A-BILLION-POUND two-fight mega deal with Fury.
But now that he’s missed out on the chance to become a three-time world champ – at the savage hands of Dubois – that plan is up in smoke.
And Fury is not happy about potentially missing out on all that money.
Turning to his entourage immediately after the fight, Fury said: “Listen that’s cost me £150million, the silly c***.”
But his pal tried to boost his confidence by saying: “You can still fight him.”
A passionate Fury then jumped in: “Of course it has, he’s f*****. Turki you better pay me now!”
MMA star Conor McGregor could be seen laughing in the back of the TNT Sports clip.
Had Joshua won, Fury would have needed to overcome Oleksandr Usyk in their December 21 rematch, to immediately set up a spring showdown.

But fans think they’ll never see Fury face Joshua, despite it’s promise to bring in the numbers.
The British pair have been tipped to clash for years in what would have been a big payday for both.
Fury, who sat ringside near Usyk, did not look happy with Joshua’s defeat, as Dubois retained his heavyweight IBF title.
Joshua was sensationally KO’d by Dubois in the fifth round after being dominated throughout the Wembley contest.
The former two-time champ had been downed by his British rival three times in the four rounds prior, and later praised his “sharp opponent” and lamented his own “mistakes” during the bout.
The 34-year-old also revealed he has no plans to retire, but his blockbuster fights could be a thing of the past.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has now announced what is most-likely next for Joshua.
He said there was a rematch clause in his contract to fight 27-year-old Dubois that was likely to be activated, lining up a potential second run at the IBF heavyweight title in the future.
