In a candid interview with Fight Hub TV, Tyson Fury labeled Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, and Andy Ruiz Jr as “little b**ches.” According to Fury, these boxers had the opportunity to face him in the ring but turned it down. He said, “AJ, Usyk, Wilder, Ruiz—I’d class them as little bit**es now, you know. They’ve all had the opportunity to fight the Gypsy King and all turned it down for whatever reason. So good luck to him, now they’re in the past, they’re all in the past. “

The audacity of Fury’s comments is not just a publicity stunt; it reflects his confidence and disdain for what he perceives as a lack of courage among his would-be opponents.
