Tyson Fury Fires Shot at Deontay Wilder While Eyeing Anthony Joshua Fight
Tyson Fury returned after sixteen months’ retirement and defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov via unanimous decision in a heavyweight boxing contest. It was a clinical performance where the ‘Gypsy King’ used experience and skill to control and overwhelm the Russian opponent.
Following the victory, Fury quickly called out long-time rival Anthony Joshua, who was present ringside during the event. Joshua chose not to enter the ring for a face-off but exchanged brief words with the former champion afterward.
Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder secured a win over Derek Chisora, fueling speculation about a potential clash between Wilder and Joshua soon. However, Fury insists that a fight between himself and Joshua makes more sense than Joshua facing the Bronze Bomber next.
“Why the f** he wants to fight Wilder for? Fight the fing Gypsy King. Fk Wilder, he’s bum. I have battered him three times. Forget Wilder, he’s shockingly F*ed,” said Tyson Fury via IFL TV.
According to Tyson Fury, he wants to fight Anthony Joshua in December and believes Joshua is afraid to sign a contract. Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s manager, says they are hyped about the fight but unsure due to failed arrangements between them previously.
AJ is currently recovering from his near-death accident that happened last December. Nevertheless, fans are hyped about him getting back into action soon, particularly against Tyson Fury in a huge showdown again.

Tyson Fury open to Oleksandr Usyk trilogy if Anthony Joshua pulls out of proposed showdown
Before his last win, Tyson Fury suffered a two-fight losing streak against Oleksandr Usyk and is now eager for his revenge. Usyk is currently training for his upcoming mega fight against Kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven on May 23.
Fury is mostly focused on the Anthony Joshua fight, but is up to fight Usyk next in a much-anticipated trilogy fight. “If AJ don’t want it, let’s get Usyk in the trilogy. But I need some f***ing fair play,” Tyson Fury via post-fight presser.
According to Tyson Fury, a fight against Anthony Joshua would fill a massive arena and attract nearly one hundred million viewers worldwide. It remains interesting to see what Anthony Joshua chooses later this year as he plans his comeback fight.
