Tyson Fury Blasts Anthony Joshua: “Embarrassing” Begging for Undercard Spot!
In a searing rebuke that sent shockwaves through the boxing world, Tyson Fury, the enigmatic heavyweight champion, has unleashed a scathing attack on his longtime rival, Anthony Joshua, dismissing his aspirations with contemptuous disdain. Amidst the fervor surrounding Fury’s upcoming clash against Francis Ngannou, the former unified heavyweight champion of the world found himself embroiled in a heated exchange sparked by Joshua’s audacious desire to feature on the undercard of the monumental event.
Set to make history in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with his highly anticipated showdown against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, Fury found himself confronted with Joshua’s plea to share the limelight. However, far from being flattered by the proposition, Fury met Joshua’s request with derision, branding it as “embarrassing” and indicative of a desperate bid for relevance.
In a blistering retort, Fury scoffed at Joshua’s bid to grace his undercard, likening it to a petulant child clamoring for attention. Dismissing the notion with palpable disdain, Fury urged Joshua to carve his own path to success, rather than seeking validation through association with the reigning heavyweight champion.
Underscoring the deep-seated animosity that simmers between the two titans of the ring, Fury minced no words in expressing his disdain for Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn. In a candid interview with IFL TV, Fury declared the much-anticipated clash between him and Joshua as a distant fantasy, asserting that the opportunity had passed, leaving Joshua and Hearn stranded in irrelevance.
With tensions reaching a boiling point, Fury’s scathing indictment reverberated across the boxing landscape, casting doubt on the prospects of a long-awaited showdown between him and Joshua. In a defiant stance, Fury asserted his dominance, relegating Joshua and his camp to the fringes of relevance, while reaffirming his unwavering commitment to his own legacy.
As the countdown to Fury’s clash against Ngannou intensifies, the specter of a potential showdown with Joshua looms large, tantalizing fans with the promise of a showdown between two heavyweight juggernauts. Yet, amidst the tumultuous rhetoric and simmering tensions, Fury’s proclamation serves as a stark reminder that in the unforgiving world of boxing, egos clash, and rivalries endure, leaving a trail of shattered dreams and unfulfilled promises in their wake.
When asked about Joshua’s wish to fight on the undercard of the event, Tyson Fury replied by saying:
“It’s quite embarrassing really when you’ve got a former heavyweight champion begging for a fight, begging to be on the undercard. I’m sure I seen something last night or I hear I’m going to go on the undercard vs Wilder. Is he a child or what? He wants to go on my undercard? Him and Wilder? In a battle of the biggest loser? Go and get your own show.”
In a recent interview with IFL TV, Fury revealed that the fight will never happen:
“That bird has flown. Do you know why? Because there’s one sentence. They’re out in the cold, frozen and that’s it. They’re not relevant, they are not relevant to me and I should not be relevant to them at all. However, it’s the only way that certain people, mention no names, Eddie Hearn, can stay relevant, is by talking about the champ.”
