However, Fury seemingly raised a lot of eyebrows by claiming that his fellow Briton and World Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has declined to face-off Deontay Wilder twice. Both Wilder and Joshua have witnessed one loss each in their respective pro careers and is considered to be two of the greatest knockout artists from the modern era. Yet when it comes to Tyson Fury, ‘The Gypsy King’ preferably chooses Deontay Wilder over Anthony Joshua any day.
“I have got to give it to [Wilder], he has got the bottle… he wanted to fight the best. When I was out of the ring, retired, he tried to fight Joshua twice, it was going on for ages, we all know that”
“They offered him $80 million for a two-fight deal, and I know a few people who saw proof of funds – people who I definitely trust and he refused it. I don’t think they are going to get any bigger pay-days than that. They refused it because they were scared of getting chinned by the Bronze Bomber.” Fury said to IFL TV.
