Tyson Fury sends brutal message to Anthony Joshua with simple fight promise

Tyson Fury has sent a brutal message to his rival Anthony Joshua ahead of their upcoming fights this spring, before potentially meeting each other later this year.

The Gypsy King is set to face Dillian Whyte to defend his WBC title after an agreement was finally reached - it will be Fury 's first fight in the UK since 2019.

Joshua meanwhile, is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch of their first fight after he suffered defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September, conceding his three heavyweight belts.

Joshua was offered a large sum of money to step aside from his fight, to pave the way for Fury to take on Usyk in a bout to unify the heavyweight championship belts but he rejected the offer.

Should both Britons come out victorious, they'll likely face one another later this year in a fight which UK fans have been asking to see for over half a decade.

But Fury clearly has no concerns about potentially going toe-to-toe with Joshua in the ring, telling Dubai Eye 103.8: "I’m not sure what to think about Anthony Joshua anymore.

"Quite frankly, nobody cares about him anymore. But I’ll knock him out just for bants."

Fury has long spoken out against Joshua's boxing abilities, previously calling him a 'bodybuilder posing as a heavyweight boxer'.

After his two losses to Andy Ruiz Jr and Usyk, Joshua's status of one of the top heavyweights has come under question. After defeating Wilder twice, Fury also has his eyes on Usyk.

When asked if Usyk would give him a hard fight, Fury added: "Hell no. What’s he gonna do? Tap dance around the ring and run away?

"He didn’t do any damage at all to Anthony Joshua and definitely ain’t doing damage to me. I’ll obliterate him."

Firm dates are yet to be announced for both fights,
