Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has harshly criticised Anthony Joshua, a fellow countryman and boxing opponent, calling the British-Nigerian a failure.
Earlier this year, the two were unable to agree to a fight, and according to Fury, it was Joshua’s fault that there wasn’t a bout that all boxing fans were ready to watch.
The rivalry between the two has always been fierce, but Joshua’s standing in the division has declined after he lost his title defence and rematch to Oleksandr Usyk.
However, Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury believes that Joshua is still worth the shot. John believes that Joshua should go to face Joy Joyce instead of Dillian Whyte to prove his worth. This would immediately set him up against the winner of the Usyk vs Fury fight.
The clip of Fury and his father’s argument came on Twitter. In which Fury ripped apart the former unified heavyweight champ. He said, “I think that guy is a s**thouse I’ll say it to his face. Two he has got no courage to fight me and three he’s a failure and a letdown to this country.”
Next, Fury challenged Joshua and claimed that he would never be able to redeem his image till he squares off with ‘The Gyspy King’ in the ring.
Whether Usyk and Fury will compete for the undisputed championship is still up in the air. However, that is the only direction in which things are moving. Usyk was at the ringside of Fury’s previous fight with Derek Chisora to get a closer look at his possible rival.
The fight between the two was tense after Fury’s victory. Up until now, it has been assumed that the conflict will occur in the Middle East the next year. However, nothing could be revealed until the parties involved in the conflict confirmed it.
Following this fight, there is a possibility that Joshua and Fury try to renegotiate the terms and make the fight happen.
