Tyson Fury reveals his true colors with X-rated outburst after Anthony Joshua KO

On Sep 22, 2024

Tyson Fury unleashed a tirade against “silly c***” Anthony Joshua following his knockout by Daniel Dubois.

Watching from the sidelines at Wembley, Fury was in attendance as Joshua attempted to clinch a third heavyweight world champion title on Saturday night but witnessed a shocking defeat as Joshua hit the canvas thrice before succumbing in the fifth round.

The outcome has dashed Fury’s prospects of an undisputed clash with Joshua next year. Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk again come Christmas and dreamt that triumphing would pave the way for an epic showdown with Joshua in Saudi Arabia, followed by another bout in London in 2025.

However, the former champ was caught in a candid moment acknowledging the collapse in allure for the fight. “Listen, that’s cost me £150million, the silly c***,” Fury vented. “Of course it has; he’s f***ed. Turki, you better pay me now.”

He was alluding to boxing impresario Turki Alalshikh, who hasn’t shied away from his eagerness to orchestrate a Fury vs. Joshua spectacle, reports the Mirror.

But the matchup might still get a resurrection if Fury falls to Usyk in their impending rematch. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn remains optimistic, remarking, “I don’t see it being a fight that ends his [Joshua’s] career,” said Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

“That was a big blow because we fancied winning tonight and fighting the winner of Fury against Usyk. We may end up fighting the loser of that fight, maybe if it’s Tyson Fury.

“You’ve got the Dubois rematch, you’ve got other fights out there. I think it’s really about returning to the gym and having time off and seeing how you come back with [trainer] Ben [Davison]. A lot depends on how you are performing in the gym.”
