Boxing News: Tyson Fury Name-Drops Muhammad Ali In New Anthony Joshua Dig

Tyson Fury never gets tired of throwing shade at Anthony Joshua.

It has almost been a year since the Fury vs. Joshua heavyweight clash began brewing. However, the super-fight between the pair did not come to fruition.

Fury wound up knocking out longtime rival Deontay Wilder in their trilogy match last October. Joshua, on the other hand, ended up losing his WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO to Oleksandr Usyk in September.

As things stand, Fury and Joshua are still unlikely to take on each other. However, “The Gypsy King” refuses to slow down in taking a jab at Joshua.

In his latest tirade, Fury labeled Joshua as “useless old dosser” and “bum” to put an emphasis on his compatriot’s upset losses to Usyk and Andy Ruiz.

“I think Joshua is a useless old dosser,” Fury told ESPN’s Max Kellerman on “Max on Boxing.” “As soon as he stepped up he got chinned, then he went to America where the real fighters are and got obliterated by a fat kid (Andy Ruiz) on two weeks' notice.”

“So do I think he is a great fighter? Hell no,” he continued. “I think he is a useless bum. Then he fought a boxer [Oleksandr Usyk] half his size and a foot shorter than him and got outboxed. If you think going into a boxing fight for the world heavyweight title is not trying to win, yeah I would give him that title.”

Fury went on to criticize Joshua’s size and length advantage over Usyk.

Shockingly, Fury stressed that Joshua made Usyk look like the late Muhammad Ali during the fight as he was so “stiff” the entire time.

The reigning WBC heavyweight king also predicted that Joshua will not beat Usyk in their rematch and it will signal the end of the Brit’s career.

“For me he [Joshua] is a useless old bum and he won’t get past Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight and his career is over,” the 33-year-old assessed. “However, I think Usyk is a good boxer, a very talented cruiserweight boxer but I think he is no great shake and is hittable.”

“I just think he [Usyk] is small and not fast, he is okay and a decent boxer he looks like Muhammad Ali compared to stiff a--[Joshua] there,” he added.
