Tyson Fury has teased Anthony Joshua after Oleksandr Usyk offered to train him. The Gypsy King warns him ‘don’t be a p***y like your pal’

Tyson Fury has teased Anthony Joshua after calling off their heavyweight showdown – joking that Oleksandr Usyk could ‘lend him his nuts’ after he offered to train his British rival for a potential fight against the Gypsy King.

Fury and Joshua looked to be on a collision course at last after the WBC world champion offered the struggling fighter a title shot at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on December 3 – with the Watford-born star agreeing to a 60/40 split.

But Fury grew tired of waiting for Joshua to return his contract after his promoters Matchroom agonised over small details – and talks with broadcasters also took time – leaving the fight in tatters and the unbeaten heavyweight now seeking to face Mahmoud Charr instead.

Tyson Fury has stuck the boot into Anthony Joshua after Oleksandr Usyk offered to train him

Fury claims he has moved on from a mega fight with AJ after his failure to return his contract

Before Fury claimed the fight was off, Usyk – who outpointed Joshua in Saudi Arabia in August – offered to train AJ for his showdown, something the Gypsy King has now pounced on, as he goaded both men.

He also warned Usyk not to be a ‘p***y like your pal’ after the Ukrainian said he wouldn’t face Fury until next year.

Writing on Twitter alongside the story about Usyk offering to train AJ, Fury wrote: ‘Maybe you can lend him your nuts middleweight?! Usyk, don’t be a p***y like your big pal!’

Usyk said he was happy to travel to Joshua’s camp to help him prepare for a fight with Fury

Usyk overcame Joshua in their rematch in Saudi Arabia in August, winning on a split decision

Speaking last month, Usyk urged AJ not to give up despite his disappointing split decision defeat to him on August 20.

‘If he needs my help, I will go to his camp and help him,’ he said, speaking to Sky Sports. ‘He is not 40 years old, he is 33, so he should keep working – Anthony, don’t stop. I understand that he wanted to win against me, but Anthony can’t give up. He must go forward.’

His manager Alex Krassyuk added: ‘He said if needed he might come and give him a couple of [pieces of] advice.’

Usyk himself is still hoping to face Fury despite his taunts and confirmed this week they are still holding talks about a possible undisputed showdown – with Fury putting his WBC belt on the line and hoping to take the Ukrainian’s WBO, WBA and IBF belts.

Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn (L) have been assessing a contract sent to them by Fury’s team but have exhausted the patience of the WBC champion

‘I don’t know anything about what Tyson Fury is doing or thinking,’ he told Parimatch.

‘We’re in negotiations talking about a match and we’re doing our best to make this bout happen.

‘Of course, I really want to have this fight next year. But, if Tyson Fury is not interested in a match next year, then it’s not possible to fight against him. I’m not interested in fighting any other boxer, so let’s wait.

‘He’s talking about £500million pounds for the fight. He’s a lunatic, but in a good sense I mean. I’d also want £500m, but it’s something crazy.’

Fury has been calling out a number of fighters in recent weeks, despite seemingly retiring this summer, but left a number of boxing fans crushed when he walked away from talks with Joshua after ten days of not returning his contract.

He said AJ could ‘forget about’ an all-British showdown after missing the 5pm deadline he set on Monday evening.

‘Well guys, it’s official: D-Day has come and gone,’ Fury said on social media.

‘It’s gone past 5 o’clock [on] Monday, no contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua. He is now out in the cold with the wolfpack. Forget about it.

‘Idiot, coward, s*** house bodybuilder. Always knew it, always knew you didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King.

‘Regardless of what the f*** you say now, I don’t really care. Good luck with your career and your life. End of.’

Tyson Fury’s Epic Meltdown: ‘FKING TOSSER!’ – IBF Rankings and Joshua-Usyk Rematch Slammed!

Tyson Fury, the reigning heavyweight champion, recently voiced his frustrations regarding the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the current state of boxing during an interview in London. Known for his candidness, Fury did not hold back in expressing his displeasure over the IBF’s ranking decisions and what he perceives as bias against him. In a lively exchange with journalist Charlie Parsons, Fury reflected on his preparation for his upcoming fight, emphasizing his dedication to the sport and his ongoing passion for boxing. He mentioned that if others were compensated as handsomely as he is, they too would find inspiration in the sport. However, Fury’s focus quickly turned to the IBF, which he criticized for their questionable rankings, particularly their decision to place him outside the top 15 after he had just paid a substantial fee to compete for their title. Fury’s frustration was palpable as he referred to the IBF’s belt as “a piece of sh*t” and expressed his disdain for the organization, stating he would “piss on it” when he got home. He took aim at Daryl Peoples, a judge he believes is not fit to officiate significant bouts, suggesting that the judging system in boxing is flawed, particularly when it comes to his fights. Despite his strong feelings regarding the IBF, he acknowledged that he had no loss of faith in the judges, who he deemed competent. As he prepares for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury indicated that he plans to approach the fight with a renewed focus, aiming to avoid complacency. He admitted that in their previous encounter, he may have underestimated Usyk’s abilities, engaging in what he called “clowning around” during the match. Fury’s goal for the upcoming bout is to assert himself with more concentration and less showboating. The conversation also touched upon the future of heavyweight boxing, including the potential for a rematch between Anthony Joshua and Usyk. Fury, who has previously clashed with Joshua, expressed skepticism about Joshua’s chances of winning should a rematch take place. He suggested that if Joshua continues to face defeats, the prospect of their fight, which once promised to be a blockbuster event, may not hold the same allure. Fury concluded the interview by discussing his holiday plans, humorously noting that he would indulge in festive feasting and then work to shed the extra weight come January. The heavyweight champion remains optimistic about his future in boxing, hinting at the possibility of a trilogy fight with Usyk. As Fury gears up for his next challenge, his passion for the sport and his determination to reclaim his status remain evident, ensuring that fans will be eagerly awaiting the December 21st showdown.

As the boxing world awaits further updates, fans are left with a mixture of concern and anticipation for Joshua’s return to form. The emphasis on respect for his achievements serves as a reminder of his status within the heavyweight division, even as he grapples with the physical toll of the sport. Joshua’s resilience and determination have always been hallmarks of his career, and this latest challenge will undoubtedly test those qualities once again. As he navigates the recovery process, the boxing community remains hopeful for his swift return to the ring, ready to reclaim his position among the elite in the heavyweight class.
