The boxing world is well acquainted with the heavyweight rivalry between Anthony Joshua and ‘The Gypsy King’. To date, the duo has tried several times to reach common ground and settle their business in the ring. However, the attempts made went in vain due to the differences between fighters and their promoters on several issues.

Interestingly, after announcing his return, the former two-time heavyweight champion made an attempt to make this fight happen. He proposed an offer to Joshua to fight in November last or on December 3 at Wembley Stadium.

However, Fury did not want to delay his return, so he gave an ultimatum to Joshua. Which the latter failed to meet.

This led to the finalizing of the trilogy fight between Fury and Chisora. The latter is AJ’s good friend. This is the reason Fury dragged Joshua’s name while exchanging shots with Chisora.

He said, “Man’s a coward. Man’s a coward. I’m going to keep torturing him until he gets the b*lls to fight.”

To which Chisora replied, “He would fight.”

Next, Fury added, “No, he won’t. That’s why you stepped in. Listen, You should let me manage you. I’ll do it for free! I wouldn’t take enough yaa.”

Before indulging in an exchange over AJ, Chisora labeled Fury as ‘Bipolar’.
