Tyson Fury tells Anthony Joshua to ‘grow a pair’ and fight him in DECEMBER in behind-closed-doors UK battle


TYSON FURY wants Anthony Joshua “to grow a pair of balls” and finally fight him in a behind-closed-doors UK battle.

The Gypsy King has been training throughout lockdown – up to five-times-a-day at the start of the pandemic – but his Deontay Wilder trilogy fight has been repeatedly postponed.

COVID-19 has the December 19 Las Vegas showdown with the Bronze Bomber on the ropes so Fury – who lost 30 months of his brilliant career to a doping ban and mental breakdown –  has ordered his Brit rival to glove up and save his sanity.

Fury told talkSPORT: “I will be fighting in December either against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas or Joe Bloggs.

“I have made it very clear that if we cannot fight in America then I want a homecoming in the UK and I don’t care about a crowd.

“I am about one-hour from going AWOL unless I get some good news.

“Tell AJ to grow a pair and step up to fight in December. If Wilder doesn’t happen then let’s get the AJ fight in December.

“If Wilder doesn’t happen in December then I will step in and smash Anthony Joshua into next week.”

AJ is supposed to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO titles against Kubrat Pulev in early December.

But Fury has offered him the chance to fight him instead and tried to goad him with a string of insults about his boxing ability and heart.

The WBC champ said: “I saw him get knocked out by Andy Ruiz Jr and then go back to his corner and jack it in.

“I don’t think the rematch performance was a masterclass, that rematch was like watching paint dry.

“I have been in loads of dog fights and won them all, he has been in one and got beat.

“Joshua is not man enough for me. Have you ever seen a knife go through butter before?

“I knock AJ out in three rounds. How would he get out the way of me? Is he fleet footed enough to get away from me?

“I would cut him down in two, it is not about tactics, it is about balls, guts and determination and I have those in abundance.

“Once this fight gets made I will show you what to do with a bodybuilder like that, you cut him in two.

“He jacked against Ruiz and he will do it again, once you have quit once you will quit again.”
