In an interview with iFL TV, Fury spoke about the whole Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight. Subsequently, he spoke about who he would fight next. When the interviewer asked ‘The Gypsy King’ if he would want to fight Joe Joyce in February, Fury replied, “I’m not really interested in fighting Joe Joyce. I’m probably looking at someone like Savannah Marshall to fight in a cross-gender heavyweight championship match-up. That’s more interesting to me.”

“I’m only interested in two fights – Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, apart from that I’m not interested.”

It did not seem like Fury was joking around about the Savannah Marshall matchup. ‘The Gypsy King’ reiterated that he was serious about the fight.

They took full advantage of the fact that Jake’s presence was only virtual, denying him a chance to even talk properly. Tyson Fury spoke about being the best trash talker in boxing. Jake intervened and said that Fury spoke about him well a few months back. ‘The Problem Child’ then asked the Lancashire native to make up his mind.

Fury replied, saying, “That was few months ago and now I think you’re a w***er.”
