Tyson Fury names Joe Joyce in three-fight plan but rules out bout against ‘coward’ Anthony Joshua


TYSON FURY has eyes on Joe Joyce if his undisputed Oleksandr Usyk dream ends.

WBC king Fury faces Derek Chisora on December 3 ahead of a March clash with WBA, IBF and WBO champ Usyk.

But the Ukrainian may have to fight mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic instead or give up his coveted IBF crown.

That has led the Gypsy King to line-up Juggernaut Joyce as a back-up for an all-English bout.

Fury said: “If Usyk doesn’t want the fight let’s do Joyce at Wembley.

“Joe, get your skates on and get fit mush. If the middleweight don’t want no smoke then you are in.

“I’m fighting three times next year, you can be one of them.

“I have Joyce as No 3 heavyweight champion in the world as I think only I can take Deontay Wilder’s power.”

Since snubbing Fury’s offer of a December 3 fight, Anthony Joshua has ruled out a ring return until March.

He is now expected to face the winner of Saturday’s fight between Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin although fight fans still want to see Fury versus AJ.

But Fury has lost his appetite for that domestic battle.

He said: “There’s no glamour in fighting a coward. I don’t fight cowards, only real men.

“My glamour fights were Deontay Wilder in America, they were my glamour fights.

“This other-bum fight with Joshua over here was more of a Sunday roast, and only English people respected it.

“Usyk is top of the shopping list, I am head-hunting him.

“But when I splatter Usyk people will say he is too small and it was a mismatch.
