Fans all say the same thing as Tyson Fury goes ‘quiet’ after Anthony Joshua beats Jermaine Franklin and calls him out


BOXING fans were left baffled by Tyson Fury’s silence after Anthony Joshua’s win over Jermaine Franklin.

AJ laboured to a bloody points victory over the American at The O2 last Saturday to stop his rot and pick up his first win in nearly three years.

Fight fans around the world expected Fury to immediately take to social media to lambast Joshua for his less-than-impressive victory – especially when his fellow Brit called him out.

But The Gypsy King has yet to speak out on the former unified heavyweight champion’s display, much to the surprise of many.

One boxing fan tweeted: “Tyson Fury why are you so quiet this morning after #JoshuaFranklin and AJ calling you out?

“Hope everything is ok.”

He said: “You know me, I like to provide for the fans. I know who the fans want. Who do the fans want? They said Fury?

“The ball is in his court, I will 100 per cent be honoured to compete for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world.

“I stand here and say that proudly, it would be an honour, so wherever you are if you’re listening.

“You know my management, you know my promoter.

“We’ve had dialect before, so let’s continue this and hopefully we can get this on sooner rather than later.

“We ain’t getting any younger.”

AJ, however, doesn’t want negotiations to play out on social media, saying: “Save all that s**t. If we’ll f***ing fight, let’s go.

“Shut the f*** up and that’s just how I feel because I got to save my energy for the fight.

“I’ll be real, I’ll be real. I respect the man. He’s achieved a lot.
