Former British boxer Spencer Oliver believes Tyson Fury only has two fights left in him following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
Oliver claims that the Gypsy King should now prioritise a fight with Anthony Joshua before a potential rematch with Usyk.

Fury suffered his first professional loss in Riyadh on Saturday, losing via a split decision in the first undisputed heavyweight clash since 1999.
There is a clause for a rematch against Usyk and promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that could happen in October this year.

But Oliver believes Fury should have a break before fighting Usyk again and instead reckons he should agree to an all-British affair against Joshua.
A fight between Fury and Joshua has been on the cards for several years and Oliver says it would still attract huge attention.
He told talkSPORT Bet: “If I’m Tyson Fury, I’m not going into the rematch now. I’m fighting Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium first.
“There are two fights left in Fury. That’s the Oleksandr Usyk rematch and then the Joshua fight is always going to be a massive fight for the British public. Everyone has always wanted to see it.
“That’s a fight that still sells, hugely. If you’re looking at it from a business point of view, that’s probably a bigger fight.
“They’ve both been beaten by Usyk. The winner of Joshua versus Fury then boxes Oleksandr again.
“But Fury will want to right the wrongs. So I see him probably going into that rematch first to secure his legacy, but he has other options.”
Fury famously came back from severe mental and physical struggles in his career to become heavyweight champion again.
