Tyson Fury Says There’s No Bad Blood With Anthony Joshua 

Tyson Fury says he has no bad blood with Anthony Joshua, but remains focused on Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury is set to box Usyk on May 18 and the Brit held a press conference earlier this week ahead of the bout. But, in the lead-up to the fight with Usyk. Fury has been asked about Joshua, which the Brit says there is no bad blood at all between them.

“What about? Being called a dosser or a sausage?” Fury said. “What’s really been said? Has he ever said anything to me that’s personal – or me to him? I don’t think so. If he was here now, we would go for a beer over there and a jam sandwich, or I would take him out for fish and chips. I would take him back to my house to meet my kids and take a picture. What, do you think there is bad blood between two professional boxers? Behave yourself.”

The focus for Tyson Fury is on Oleksandr Usyk, but the Brit is confident he will win the fight and prove the fighters wrong. However, he knows a fight against Joshua will be massive, but he says the focus is on Usyk.

“It won’t be at Wembley Stadium when that happens,” Fury said. “If you are paying $200 million for something, are you going to do it in someone else’s country? Doubt that. Maybe in the rematch, yeah – if there is a rematch. The way I look at it is that Joshua is an old dosser and he’s got to wait his turn because he had his chance with Usyk, and he lost fair and square. He already lost to Usyk not once, but twice. So that puts him at the back of the queue, and he has to wait until I’ve dealt with your man. I can’t overlook Usyk. Usyk is not going to say, ‘Alright then, I don’t want my 75 million that I’m getting in the rematch. Please just give me 50 grand to step aside.’ You really think that is going to happen? I don’t think so.”
