Conor McGregor, Tyson Fury Go Ballistic Over Anthony Joshua's Shocking KO Loss

As of Sunday afternoon, Daniel Dubois' fifth-round KO against Anthony Joshua Saturday afternoon has been viewed over a million times on 'X' (formerly Twitter) alone. The upset win kept the IBF title with Dubois, which leaves him with several options moving forward to add to his heavyweight legacy.

But in front over 90,000-plus at Wembley Stadium in London, two of combat sports' biggest names, Conor McGregor and Tyson Fury, may have had more fun than anyone watching.

Both men are at different stages of their careers. If McGregor's recent comments about a return to MMA hold, he will not have fought since July 2021. As for Fury, he is attempting to exact revenge against Oleksandr Usyk. The pair fought in May, with Fury losing a closely-contested decision in an undisputed heavyweight title fight.
