Tyson Fury has predicted he will never fight Anthony Joshua, branding the three-belt champion a coward.
Joshua has called out Fury and WBC champion Deontay Wilder in the last week, as he prepares to make his debut in America against Mexican challenger Andy Ruiz Jr.
Fury was making the media rounds in Las Vegas ahead of his own fight and was asked if he thought he would ever face his direct rival, Joshua.
‘No, because you need nuts to fight me, cojones, bollocks, testicles – whatever you want to call them, Joshua don’t have any,’ Fury said.
‘Eddie Hearn owns Joshua’s nuts, they’re in his handbag. So when he becomes a man, he can come see me.’
‘It’s unfortunate, but it’s reality. Joshua’s a big p**** s***house,’ he continued.
‘Joshua is not a great fighter. He’s just a mediocre, average heavyweight from the ’70s, and, if he was in the ‘70s, he wouldn’t even be a world champion.’
Asked how he would beat Joshua, Fury said: ‘Punch his face in, he’s a big, bum dosser.’
While Fury insists Joshua is ducking him, his rival claims it is the Gypsy King and Wilder who are stalling.
He said: ‘Both [Fury] and Wilder are wasting their own time. They are nearer than me to the end of their careers – ten or eleven years as professionals to my five.
‘The longer they leave it the worse for them.
‘They’re not going to get any better but I’ve got another five years for honing my skills.
‘I’m not the finished article yet. Imagine me with another 18 months in my bag of tricks.’
