Tyson Fury has given a bold explanation for his recent claims. The undefeated champion revealed why he has allegedly stopped training for the Anthony Joshua fight. ‘The Gypsy King’ even explained why he doesn’t need to prepare as much for ‘AJ’.

The Joshua-Fury fight has been the talk of the sport for months. And while Anthony Joshua has shared regular updates of his relentless training, Tyson Fury recently claimed he stopped training. However, it is not because the potential undisputed title fight is in jeopardy.

‘The Gypsy King’ spoke to iFL TV on YouTube and said, “Until I get a date and they say, ‘right, you’re going to be fighting in June, 15th, Antarctica. Then I go back into training camp. I only need six-seven weeks’ training anyway, for these bums.”

This comment showed different aspects of the reality of the fight. First, it revealed ‘The Gypsy King’ does not know the date of the event. Moreover, it also confirmed that there is no location for the bout as yet. Therefore, Fury is sticking by his pessimism regarding the fight even happening.
