Joshua, 34, put down Ngannou twice before landing a killer blow – something Fury failed to do when he met The Predator in October.
The Gypsy King laboured to a points win over Ngannou and was even knocked down by the former UFC champion.
But he described Joshua’s showdown with the heavyweight as a “show fight”, and belittled his compatriot by suggesting the real boxing will be between him and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury tweeted: “Me and Oleksandr Usyk have got an undisputed heavyweight world title fight coming up, and he’s just had a show fight – which is fantastic for the show, but for the actual real boxing it’s me and Usyk who fight for the No1 position and undisputed.”
The two heavyweight world champions, Fury and Usyk, are set to do battle on May 18 after their initial meeting was postponed due to Fury suffering a cut above his eye.
Fury, 35, was ringside for AJ’s duel with Ngannou and he was spotted applauding enthusiastically after the first knock down.
He also looked “terrified” by Joshua’s knockout blow according to fans, as he sat in his chair looking stunned.
Frank Warren sitting next to him looked perplexed while Paris Fury appeared visibly horrified before she started clapping.
Ngannou was laid out on the canvas following the blow and he required oxygen before getting back to his feet.
Asked about fighting Joshua, Fury said at the Kingdom Arena: “I’m sure Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say something about that.
Tyson Fury looks on intently ahead of Joshua vs Ngannou
“I had a s*** performance against Ngannou. AJ did absolutely fantastic and lit him up with a right hand.
“If he fights me after I beat Usyk twice then it will be a different game.”
