A video of Tyson Fury getting dissed is going viral. In it, an elderly man approaches him to shake his hand as he says it's "nice to meet you." While Fury wishes him back, he fails to meet his expectation of a handshake.

Within seconds, the man disses him, asserting that he "still thinks Joshua would beat" Tyson Fury. The video, or diss, rather, comes on the heels of the former's bitter announcement that he would be taking a step back from boxing, much to the dismay of fans worldwide, who were all hoping for a showdown between him and Anthony Joshua this year.

Nonetheless, an even snarkier Tyson Fury shot back at the man by saying:

"I think anybody on this beach could beat you."

Watch the clip below:

The video has since been drawing hilarious reactions and leaving many in stitches, and we've rounded up some of the funniest ones for you to chuckle at, too.

Tyson Fury takes a blow to his career from an old man; users react by joking he got 10-8'd at the beach

Users could not help but point out that Tyson Fury may have, as the Gen Zs put it, "got cooked." Here's one user saying just that, for example (via @Fortunenato/X):

Scores online echoed the sentiments, while others just couldn't stop laughing.

"That shoulder tap [string of laughing emojis]," one user pointed out.
"Very strange old man," another joked.
"he has one single fan and he disrespects him," someone else jested.
"If he’d run after the old guy he’d never have caught him…" a user jokingly suggested.

The comments didn't end there, as several users jumped on the bandwagon to diss the professional boxer.

One user joked that out of spite, Tyson Fury might just come out of retirement to fight Anthony Joshua (via @UnitedMazraoui/X):

Another suggested that Fury had taken a 10-8 at the beach, of all places (via @Ajsrisen/X):

Someone else joked that the old man is just waiting for Anthony Joshua to beat Fury at this point (via @Michael1129994/X):

Someone else sided with Fury, noting that the man's actions may have been a tad bit unnecessary (via @vii_alex/X):


While it may be the third time he has announced that he will be going into retirement, perhaps a bout between Fury and Anthony Joshua may not be in the cards after all. But alas, only time will tell. Who knows, there may even be a fourth retirement announcement in the books for Fury.
