Tyson Fury has hit out at Anthony Joshua for claiming he is carrying the heavyweight division.
Joshua made the claim after his KO of Robert Helenius in August and "The Gypsy King" hasn’t taken it well.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Fury said:
“I don’t really care what he says, he’s a bum in my opinion. He’s just a big bum dosser who’s been knocked out and had three losses.
“You can’t even compare him to me anymore, it’s not even a fight, I don’t even look forward to fighting him, it’s not a fight anymore. I’m not interested. The bubble has been burst. It’s not so much interesting for me to beat AJ anymore. He’s already been beat, he’s been spanked by Usyk twice and knocked out by a fat man so it’s not of my interest to beat him.
“I’m fighting a guy who’s in his prime who’s a champion, who’s bigger than him, stronger than him and who’s a bigger knockout puncher than him in Ngannou. Get to the back of the queue. The fight is off the cards, it’s gone, dead. The fight was off the cards when he got beat.”
Fury is next in action this month when he takes on Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October 28th.
If he deals with the MMA star then next-up could be the undisputed clash with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
