Tyson Fury’s dad John tells Anthony Joshua to be ‘worst form of human being ever’ and gives blueprint to beat Usyk


TYSON FURY’S dad John insists Anthony Joshua will have to enter the ring as the “worst form of human being he’s ever been” to beat Oleksandr Usyk tonight.

The two heavyweights will clash at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Saudi Arabia just a year after Usyk beat Joshua in London.

The Ukrainian star poses as the favourite to retain the IBF, WBO, IBO and WBA (Super) titles but Fury isn’t writing AJ off.

However, the former boxer insists his fellow Brit will have to “change his character completely” and put “a lot of devil in his work” when he enters the ring.

Fury told Freebetsdotcom: “I know they’re all favouring Usyk, and I can’t blame them, but I wouldn’t write Anthony Joshua off.

“If he gets the right game plan, the right mindset, takes it to him and bullies him a bit with a lot of devil in his work, I think he can stop him.

“I’d go for body punches, I’d work the body. Plenty of punishment downstairs, bring them up through the middle and around the sides. If he gets that game plan, who knows, I think he can do it.

“But it’s going to take devil in his work, aggression and him to be a bully and the worst form of human being he’s ever been in that night.

“He’s got to change his character completely. He’s got to be a demon when he’s in there, otherwise he’s going to come up second best because you can’t outbox Usyk as he’s just too tricky.

“But what he can do is out strength him, out game him and use his size and his weight to his advantage. He needs a lot of that [heart], if he gets all of this, you get an AJ win. Anything less, Usyk [wins].”
