TYSON FURY has revealed the hilarious reason he tried to FaceTime Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn recently.
At the start of June, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he and the WBA, IBF and WBO king had missed a couple of calls from the WBC champ.
Tyson Fury joked Anthony Joshua was too scared to answer the phone to him when he was on the wind-up
The undefeated Gypsy King has revealed he was on the wind-up – and was even going to offer his services as a commentator for Hearn’s upcoming shows in the Essex garden of his Matchroom office.
Fury told IFL: “I FaceTimed Eddie to talk about maybe fighting in his back garden against a featherweight or any other job on commentary, I was bored and he is usually good for the craic.
“I phoned AJ for the same and to ask him how training was going but neither answered, I just got a missed call back from Eddie.”
The 31-year-old loves a prank phone call and regularly rings to warn AJ he is in for a battering if they ever finally meet in the ring.
But the father-of-five also wishes the Watford man well and sends his best regards to his family.
The 6ft 9in powerhouse – who has also drunkenly called boxing fan Wayne Rooney for an impromptu chat – just cannot work out why more of his wind-up targets don’t take his calls.
He said: “People seem to be too scared to answer the phone when the Gypsy King rings and I don’t know why.
“I cannot beat them up down the phone, can I?”
On June 11, Hearn revealed he had helped get AJ and Fury to agree terms on a two-fight deal starting in 2021.
And he was lucky to get that call done as a couple of weeks earlier he admitted to both he and AJ failing to get hold of Fury.
Hearn said: “I had a couple of FaceTime missed calls from Tyson the other day, so did AJ.
“I was out in the garden, came back and I had two video calls from Fury.
“So I phoned him back three times, text him saying, ‘Sorry mate, missed your call, but I’m around.’
“Then I spoke to AJ and said, ‘I had a missed call from Fury.’
“He went, ‘You know what? So did I.’
“I don’t know what he was up to, I think he was just on the wind-up.”
