Tyson Fury has been branded 'fake' after his interaction with Oleksandr Usyk at the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois fight on Saturday night at Wembley.
AJ was knocked out by Dubois in a shock conclusion to their all-British bout, which saw Dynamite defend his IBF heavyweight title.
All the stars were out to watch the mega-event at a sold-out Wembley, including Conor McGregor, Liam Gallagher and Maya Jama.
But also in attendance were Fury and Usyk, who are scheduled to fight one another in a rematch in December.

However, an interaction between the two appeared to show the pair in good spirits as Fury commended Usyk, who has beaten both Joshua and Dubois since making the jump from cruiserweight to heavyweight.
Fury told Usyk: “You gave them both a real boxing lesson. I give you credit, you did well. That’s what boxing skills do. Skills pay the bills. You know what I mean?”
The Gypsy King, who was beaten by Usyk in May earlier this year, then gave the Ukraine star's promoter Alex Krassyuk a big hug.
But language expert Darren Stanton rubbished Fury's demeanour and insisted he was acting fake.
“I think with Tyson he's got two gears. One he is really down, the other is the genuine showman," he told CanadaCasino.

"In that clip he's got his showman face on. It's not a genuine smile.
“He's not operating from a place of genuine joy or happiness. I think there is some sadness in there as well and he's a bit hyper but the smile is fake.
"If you look at his face, he does this default fake smile when he's on a rant or when he's having banter with people or when he's doing the weigh-ins. He always tries to make out he's not phased or worried.

"I wouldn't say he's particularly worried but internally, from an emotional point of view, I don't think he's as happy as he's trying to make out he is.
"With Tyson he's a bit of an open book. There's no crow's feet, no laugh lines, and they happen regardless of age.
"We don't see that. We don't see the top half of the face engaged. It's just a grin which seems very disingenuous.”
