Tyson Fury has reignited his bitter war of words with heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua, by attempting to publicly humiliate him as he took to social media on Wednesday morning to label the Watford-born fighter a bum, as fans have again started to cry out for the pair to finally settle their differences in the ring.
In typical Fury fashion, the ‘Gypsy King’ posted a picture showing a father taking his young son to school, with the roles mocked up to show AJ as the small child and Fury as the parent.
With added speech captions, the youngster questions: ‘where are you taking me? before receiving a response of: “to school, you bum.”
Fury has returned to his tried and tested insult on many occasions, and is now upping the ante ahead of the possibility of finally going head to head with Joshua. As reported by Sportsmail, Fury has finally been given the green light by the WBC to fight Joshua in a blockbuster battle of Britain if he can defeat Deontay Wilder in their trilogy showdown.
The Brits finally agreed on financial terms for two super fights over the next two years earlier this summer, and the chances of the first bout happening in 2021 received a huge boost after Dillian Whyte relinquished his mandatory position to Fury’s WBC title.
Whyte was set to fight the winner of Fury and Wilder’s trilogy clash but has been denied his long-awaited crack at a world title after Alexander Povetkin produced a devastating one-punch knockout on Saturday night.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has now confirmed that Fury is freed up to fight whoever he wants should he come through against Wilder.
Sulaiman told Sky Sports: “We don’t speculate, but the time limitations which were put by the WBC board, which had Dillian Whyte won, the winner of the third Fury-Wilder fight has to fight without an intervening bout against Dillian Whyte.”
“That now has changed. Dillian has lost, so there are no limitations at the moment for the winner of Fury-Wilder to do any fight whatsoever.”
