Tyson Fury did the media rounds on Wednesday at a press conference ahead of his fight against Oleksandr Usyk, which will take place on May 18.
Although Usyk is the main focus, the topic of Anthony Joshua came up. Joshua could very well face the winner of Fury-Usyk, although he’s already lost twice to Usyk.
Tyson Fury calls Anthony Joshua a “fat sausage”
A fight against Fury could be on the cards whether Fury beats Usyk or not, and it sure sounds like Fury is already trying to promote that one. First, Fury called Joshua a “useless sausage“.
Fury himself even said that he expects to fight Joshua not once but twice following the Usyk fights.
He then followed up later by claiming there’s no bad blood between the two boxers. But then he delivered an eyebrow-raising quote when prompted on what he thinks of Joshua’s recent improvement since hiring a new trainer.
Fury loves delivering ear-catching quotes, and that was certainly one of them. If he’s set to fight Usyk and Joshua a total of four times combined over the next couple of years, we’ll be in for many more great quotes.
On May 18, the Brit’s highly-anticipated undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk will finally take place, live on TNT Sports Box Office.
The battle for all the marbles was pushed back from its February 17 date after Fury pulled out due to a cut above his right eye sustained in sparring.
At a press conference in his hometown of Morecambe, the reigning WBC champion was told by Alalshikh: “Tyson, you are the diamond in world boxing. You know I want you to be our crown jewel for 10 more fights.”
