The Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight has failed to materialize. This is because the ex-WBC champ, Deontay Wilder, played his cards and won a case to seal a trilogy with ‘The Gypsy King’. Now, the unified heavyweight champ, Joshua, doesn’t have an opponent. Thus, his ultimate dream to fight for all the heavyweight titles is on the back burner for now.
That said, Joshua didn’t want to spare this chance of taking a dig at his compatriot, Tyson Fury. In a string of tweets, Joshua and Fury engaged in an ugly spat, thus mocking each other in their own eccentric way.
Joshua, who fired the first salvo on ‘The Gypsy King’ wrote, “.@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are. You’ve let boxing down! You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight. Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.”

.@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are.
You’ve let boxing down!
You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.
