Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, who is undefeated and widely considered the greatest technician of this generation always has a harsh take on his rival countryman Anthony Joshua. The duo failed to make a fight deal earlier this year. Fury believes it was he who is responsible for not producing a showdown that all British boxing fans were eager to see. The rivalry between the two has always been intense but since Joshua lost his rematch and title to Oleksandr Usyk, his stars have dimmed.

However, he still got someone who believes that Joshua is a nice kid. He is none other than Tyson Fury’s father John Fury. The big Fury 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.

No surprise ‘The Gyspy King’ did not like this. He went against his father’s opinion and blamed Joshua.

 Fury’s damning comment on his fellow compatriot Anthony Joshua

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 the latter would never be able to redeem his image till he did not square off with ‘The Gyspy King’ in the ring.

It is not confirmed yet whether Usyk will face Fury for the undisputed title or not. But things are taking shape in that direction only. In Fury’s previous fight with Derek Chisora, Usyk was present at the ringside to take a closure look at his potential opponent.
