Tyson Fury

TYSON FURY and his dad John have jetted to Menorca ahead of Anthony Joshua's showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.The Gypsy King, 34, has spent the week feudi.

"I'll show you who wants smoke you little s***house. After going back and forth with Delboy this week Fury said on Friday: "I see Delboy's at it again. "He’s got to change his character completely. He needs a lot of that [heart], if he gets all of this, you get an AJ win. If he gets that game plan, who knows, I think he can do it. Plenty of punishment downstairs, bring them up through the middle and around the sides.

The rematch against Usyk has been incredibly lucrative for the British star but AJ still falls short of Fury's earnings.

When Tyson Fury stormed back into heavyweight boxing and ripped the WBC title from Deontay Wilder's grasp, an all-British blockbuster with Anthony Joshua ...

Back in September there were fleeting glimpses of the problems he can cause Usyk and the tide even felt like it had turned in the fifth and sixth rounds, only for the latter to find his feet again and retrieve control from the seventh onwards. Though that doesn't mean Joshua is incapable of banking rounds and regaining his titles on the scorecards. Usyk was quick and clever enough to capitalise on that last time out, with his crisp left hand finding the target far too frequently. Given Usyk's head is always bobbing up, down, left and right, targeting the body could be the key to victory for AJ this weekend. Joshua has never been one for a gritty brawl and, in truth, doesn't boast the engine to manhandle someone for 12 rounds. The obvious answer, as most armchair experts seem to have worked out, is for Joshua to get up close, impose his superior size and wear him down. With that in mind, Joshua has the power to alter the heavyweight landscape in dramatic fashion at Jeddah's King Abdullah Sports Centre. Being honest, Joshua has not looked the same fighter since Andy Ruiz Jr brought him crashing down to earth three years ago, a damaging defeat which appears to have shattered his confidence, not to mention they are up against a modern-day great with very few weaknesses in Usyk. Fury will now be waiting in the wings and watching closely as Joshua bids to avenge his defeat against Usyk in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Usyk made a mockery of lazy suggestions that he was too small to dethrone the 6ft 6in champion last September. It would also be near-enough impossible for him to resist the irritation of AJ flexing his muscles again after such a seismic triumph. Fury turned his attention back to Wilder and a trilogy bout he would ultimately win in exhilarating fashion.

The Saudis paid £66million for Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk and now they want to host Tyson Fury in a clash for the undisputed world ...

“We’ve seen through the numbers from the last fight we had, Joshua-Ruiz 2, that we had six gyms in Saudi that had boxing in them. He pointed to the increase in boxing since Joshua’s rematch with Andy Ruiz Junior in 2019 as proof that these showpiece occasions do inspire their people. Prince Abdulaziz claims the £66million outlay on Joshua’s rematch with Usyk was worth it because it caught the imagination of locals in Jeddah. The Saudis say they want to host big events to inspire their people to take up sport and to boost their fledgling tourist industry. “In the winter time, if it does happen, I think it will be hosted in Riyadh,” he said. Sports Minister HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Saud says they would like to stage WBC champ Fury in a fight for all four major heavyweight belts.

The Manchester native responded in kind, mocking his rival for being a "wannabe rudeboy". Fury has spent the last few years trolling Joshua, including multiple Facetime calls with his rival, and a host of other tweets. Since that tweet, they went back and forth exchanging aggressive messages, with Fury at one point calling Joshua a "poor man's Frank Bruno". And the Manchester native, who at the time was heading into a deep depression and lengthy time out of the ring, was offended at the idea, telling Joshua: "Jealous of a weightlifter who is fighting for a paper title? Just months later, Joshua had claimed in an interview that Fury was "jealous" of him. The first recorded tweet from Fury to Joshua amid their years-long feud was a supportive one, as he watched while the future two-time heavyweight champion knocked out Kevin Johnson within two rounds.

If the Briton can prevail it would set up the biggest all-British fight of all time, a bout with Fury that would create an undisputed champion for the first time since Lennox Lewis in 1999. On Saturday night, Joshua must be expected to make his hands tell on his foe and do what comes naturally as an enforcer in the ring. We need intensity, we need ferociousness, we need a guy that wants to break ribs and smash jaws, and I think that’s exactly where his head’s at.” Joshua’s team have embraced the underdog tag and challenger mentality — in spite of earning a staggering £50m for his efforts. Yet should Joshua become reckless, he will be exposed, giving Usyk more opportunities to counter from the southpaw stance. Greats of the sport – including Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson – have stressed that Joshua must be clear in his own mind about what type of fighter he is: an aggressive, heavy puncher, and not a boxing stylist. It also represents the chance to cast aside accusations that Joshua has become gun-shy since being defeated by Andy Ruiz in June 2019, when he was floored four times en route to a stoppage defeat in New York. Joshua: We all want AJ to win the fight obviously, as a Brit, and I do think he wins this fight. Joshua, a physical behemoth, has the opportunity to dispel doubts about his mentality, hunger and ability at the elite level. He is taller and heavier than the Ukrainian but, given their respective styles, it is unlikely that Joshua will prevail on points. This has got to be a dogfight from the first bell. Hopefully AJ will do that and it pays off, because we need those belts back in the UK.

Oleksandr Usyk is a unique challenge for his opponents with ability that could rival Tyson Fury; but Anthony Joshua has the blueprint for him going into ...

"If the taller man knows how to make that pay, it's very, very hard for a little guy. "Not just the size difference, it's that Fury is that good at knowing how to use his size. The successes that he had were quite important successes. "I think Usyk's got the mentality and ring IQ to beat Fury. "Fury does make mistakes but go to that body. Trainer Dave Coldwell, who cornered Tony Bellew when he fought Usyk in 2018, pointed out: "I think a big part of Fury's big wins in the marquee fights that he's had is where he's got into his opponent's head, pretty much like Usyk does. "Tyson Fury is just a bit of a giant," Coldwell said. What Usyk would have to do is target Fury's trunk. He's smart and he's got the physical attributes. "But I think with Usyk's boxing ability and ring smarts, he'll have met his match there. But there is a missing piece of the heavyweight puzzle. The mercurial man from Morecambe, though, is unpredictable.

The Gypsy King teased a possible return while denouncing both fighters following their bout in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
