Tyson Fury slams Anthony Joshua as ’embarrassing’ for unusual request and asks ‘is he a child or what?’
TYSON FURY labelled Anthony Joshua as “embarrassing” and like a “child” for “begging” to fight on the Gypsy King’s world title undercard.
Joshua wants to meet Deontay Wilder when Fury taking on Oleksandr Usyk in the first-ever four-belt world heavyweight unification bout.

But the Gypsy King taunted his British rival by saying: “Him vs Wilder? Battle of the biggest loser? Go and get your own show.”
Fury, 35, is back in action before that this Saturday against ex-UFC king Francis Ngannou in a much-hyped cross-over bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Mancunian then expects to enter the ring with fellow unbeaten crown-holder Usyk, 36, in December.
And Fury, who twice beat Wilder, was scathing of AJ’s hopes of taking on the same American at one mega event.
He told IFLTV: “It’s quite embarrassing really when you’ve got a former heavyweight world champion begging for a fight, begging to be on the undercard.
“Is he a child or what? He wants to go on my undercard?”
Joshua, however, appears to believe fighting Wilder on the Fury undercard is already part of the schedule.
He told Sky: “If they get this undisputed fight on, which has been looming for a while, word on the street is that it’s supposed to be the undisputed fighters and then the undercard is supposed to be a big, lively one with me and Wilder.”

Meanwhile, Fury has called Usyk a “sausage” after the Ukrainian suggested he wants their sizzler delayed from December until the New Year.
Usyk insists he needs 14 weeks of proper training to prepare.
But the Gypsy King hit back on Sky Sports: “Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn’t have a choice.
“He signed the contract, so if he doesn’t, he’s breached contract and he gets sued.”
