Tyson Fury tears into ‘classless’ Anthony Joshua over terrifying Jake Paul fight threat

Tyson Fury was not impressed with Anthony Joshua’s threat that he might need to ‘kill’ contained in the boxing ring, and he let him know.

There was a protracted standing feud between Fury and Joshua dating back to a sparring session that they had years before becoming world heavyweight champions. Two of the greats of their generation, and each Brits, by some means a fight between them has never materialized.

Fury has now reignited the rivalry by taking to Instagram to share a video shredding Joshua over a claim he made during a media scrum yesterday. The 2-time champion told press that he ‘will kill’ an opponent if possible, albeit clearly in an excessive brand of fight talk.

Tyson Fury rips Anthony Joshua over Jake Paul ‘kill’ claim

Tyson Fury isn’t one to mince his words, and it was no different once he heard what Anthony Joshua needed to say. He shared a video to Instagram that’s already going viral during which he tore into his old rival for what he had told the media.

“I’ve just been sent a video of Anthony Joshua talking about if he kills someone, he kills someone within the boxing ring,” Fury began. “You realize what, he’s a bit of bit long within the tooth to be talking s—- like that.

“He’s 37-years-old [Joshua just turned 36 in October], at the top of his profession fighting a YouTuber, Disney Channel guy who Tommy [Fury] beat. Now he’s talking about killing him and all that to try to sell? Come on, please.

“You’re barking up the mistaken tree, idiot. Here’s a fun fact; if I ever come across you, bum, I’m knocking you dead spark out. I ain’t a YouTuber or a person half his size, I’m him, the person. You’re a classless loser coming off a 15-month knockout defeat to an area lad [two-time heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois].

“Imagine I lost to someone from Morecambe knocked me out? You big bum, useless dosser. Rise up. I can’t wait until Jake Paul knocks you spark out you big bum.”
