Tyson Fury never leaves a single chance to go after his rivals. Through his social media, interviews, and appearances at events, Fury takes shots at his fellow heavyweight punchers. These days, Anthony Joshua seems to be on his radar as the WBC champ has launched some scathing verbal attacks on his compatriot.
In a fresh conversation with Max Kellerman, Fury took aim at ‘AJ‘ once again.
‘The Gypsy King’ said, “I think he’s a useless bum and then he fought a boxer half of his weight and foot shorter than him. And got outboxed and everything.”

“I’ve got to go and take it to the man and try and win the fight, so yeah, if you, if you, think going into a boxing fight for the world heavyweight title is not even trying to win. Then yeah, I give him that title being a great… for me.”
“He’s a useless old bum. He won’t get, he won’t get past Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight. His career is over.”
Last year, Anthony Joshua capitulated to his second pro-boxing loss against the undefeated Usyk. From the first gong till the last, nothing went right for the Briton.
Now he’s in contention to rematch his Ukrainian foe and possibly get over the line. However, Tyson Fury doesn’t think it will happen. He even mocked Joshua’s achievement from over a decade ago.
