      But when it was suggested boxing fans did not care about watching Fury fight someone he has already beaten twice before, the Gypsy King was not happy.
      And he quickly closed down the rest of the interview and gave an X-rated send-off to the host.
      Fury blasted: “I think you’re a t****r. You little t***pot.
      “And I won’t be doing any more interviews with you little t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t***er.

      “Kiss my b**ls, you little w**ker. You little s***house.”
      But as he tried to bow out with his expletive-laden rant, Fury seemed unable to hang up from the video call as his confused face filled the screen.
      True Geordie could not resist a cheeky body shot before Fury retorted: “Suck a d***.”
      The host – real name Brian Davis – quipped as Fury finally left: “Well, that went well.

      “Have you ever been cussed out by the heavyweight champion of the world? Probably not. 
      “Very glad I did this one on video call because that could’ve been a painful end to my life.”
      Fury’s temper turned in the interview when Davis labelled the Chsiora bout on December 3 as a “mismatch” and instead thinks he should fight someone new, such as Anthony Joshua.
      However, Fury hit back at the podcaster.
      The undefeated WBC heavyweight world champion said: “No matter what you say, or what people like you want to say about Derek Chisora, he’s achieved more in boxing and in fighting than ten men like you could ever achieve
      “So I’m not going to just let you sit here and slate somebody who’s fought the best fighters of this era just because he’s lost a few fights. 
      “It is what it is. I’ll be fighting Chisora… and if you don’t want to watch it then please don’t, and if you do, tune in.

      “And if you don’t want to buy a ticket, don’t buy a ticket. And if you do, be like the rest of the 50-odd, 60-odd thousand that’s already bought tickets.
      “Don’t write Derek Chisora off, because you’re only one punch away from victory or disaster.” More

      “So maybe I will take it back and I will fight Andrew Tate. I take back what I said and I am man enough to say I made a mistake when I said I wouldn’t platform him I would do it.
      “He has been talking s*** online, he said that he would fight me for free so I got excited.

      “So I text his agent and said, ‘He said he would fight me for free it sounds like a money day for me’. So he rang him up and it turns out he wants two warm-up fights.
      “I was pushing for it this would be fantastic. I thought maybe we could forego those warm-up fights and do it. But then the agent replied and said ‘if you want to fight him Whatsapp him directly’.
      “I have a solution, why don’t we do something that neither of us have done? An MMA fight between me and Tate in the UFC. Me vs Tate in the Octagon. I am giving him options.” More

      And Hearn insists Joshua only wants to face a big name for his comeback bout next year after two world title losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
      But he rates a clash with Whyte as the likeliest option after talks to meet unbeaten Tyson Fury broke down.
      Hearn told Boxing Social: “If you’re looking at three fights next for which you hope for him to have, maybe you go Dillian Whyte, Wilder, Fury.
      “I mean that would be the dream year, but probably one of them would be nice the way everything’s going.

      “I do feel that AJ–Wilder is just a massive global heavyweight fight. 
      “Two titans that the fight could end at any moment. I think it’s a tremendous fight.” 
      Joshua is still in training despite a December clash with Fury falling through.
      And although Hearn claims his man is hungry to meet a household name, AJ has also been called out by Otto Wallin and Chris Arreola.

      It could all depend on whether Whyte beats Jermaine Franklin at Wembley Arena on November 26.
      Hearn told the DAZN Boxing Show of Joshua’s schedule: “Originally in December if that Tyson Fury fight could get made but now it hasn’t and probably January or February is when it gets made.
      “Talking to him the other day he wants to fight Dillian Whyte and… Whyte is the front runner if he comes through.
      “There is the Wilder situation which is definitely a fight he is looking at.
      “And I don’t think he wants to start looking outside of the top ten of the governing bodies.” More
