Briton Tyson Fury insists that there is no chance of a national heavyweight derby with Anthony Joshua – the very compatriot whom he urged to sign a contract for a fight in early December, but eventually brushed it off and stuffed Derek Chisora in the face.
Fury is now targeting a fight for the absolute against Oleksandr Usyk in early 2023, while Joshua is expected to take on Dillian Whyte in a rematch.
Tyson claims that “everything is lost”, and the moment for the derby is allegedly lost forever.
“I can guarantee that you will not see this fight. 100%. As they did not see Froch against Calzaghe or Hatton against Witter. He won’t,” Fury said.
iFL TV. “If he was destined to happen, he would have happened in December, when Chisora harnessed instead.”
Compatriot Fury: “Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world, and by a wide margin”
“Gypsy King” insists he’ll make more money from Usyk’s unification fight than Joshua’s: “It’s [бой с Джошуа] the biggest show in this country, but not the biggest fight in boxing. But I am against Usyk for the absolute – yes, without a doubt.
“I will make 100% more on the fight with Usyk, maybe twice as much as on the fight with any other sausage,” summed up the WBC champion in his style.
Today, Usyk spoke about the meeting with Fury in the ring. He says, “his ass is on fire.”
In general, some say, Fury’s resume is worse than Joshua’s.
