Tyson Fury is not only one of the best at what he does in the ring he’s also one of the most colourful characters in all of boxing.
The Gypsy King is a unique fighter who never fails to say what is on his mind, with that doesn’t always bring universal admiration.
Leading up to his historic undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk he dismissed this opponent as just a middleweight and rather had to eat his words when he lost a points decision to the Ukrainian back in May.
Later this year in December he will have a chance to avenge the one and only loss of his professional career when the pair rematch for three of the major world title belts in Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of that and speaking to reporters, long-time rival Anthony Joshua has claimed Fury is disrespectful and explained he was glad he was no longer a champion.
“I’m glad Fury isn’t the undisputed champion. I’ve always said he’s an idiot, he’s very disrespectful.
He has to step on people to make himself feel good. The way he disrespected Usyk, ‘rabbit’ this and ‘middleweight’ that. It’s not good for the sport. If I respect you and you respect me we can lift this sport up and make people think we are two of the most elite fighters in the world. But Fury will step on you and make you look like a guy who’s just walked out of a pub.
Then he goes and gets spanked, he deserves it.”
