      Fury, 35, has long axed Hearn and his Matchroom boxing for his talks about a Battle of Britain clash between him and AJ.
      The Essex promoter, 44, has recently revealed he is certain a historic showdown between the British boxers is still on the cards.
      But the WBC Heavyweight champion hit back to confirm that there is no chance of the bout happening now.
      He then slammed that Hearn is only getting publicity by mentioning the Fury vs Joshua showdown as his Matchroom stable has “gone down the toilet.”

      The Gypsy King said: “Eddie Hearn has to speak about that a potential fight with Anthony Joshua because his full stable has gone down the toilet. 
      “The only time he gets any relevance is when he talks about Tyson Fury so if I were him, I’d talk about Tyson Fury too. The golden goose is done.
      “The fox has got in the pen and killed it, it’s over. All he talks about is Tyson Fury and that’s because it’s the only way he will gets publicity. 
      “But, I told them in December, this is the final opportunity you guys are ever going to get to fight me so take it today or don’t. And they didn’t. So, they’re out in the cold. Frozen.”

      The Mancunian has moved on from the British brawl and is set to take on UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou this Saturday.
      Meanwhile, fellow Brit Joshua had his fight with Dillian Whyte cancelled due to the Body Snatcher’s failed drug test.
      And ended up taking on Finnish boxer Robert Helenius.
      However, Hearn remains certain the British duo will fight after Fury’s bout against Oleksandr Usyk on December 23rd and AJ’s fight with Deontay Wilder in the new year.
      The Matchroom promoter even insisted Fury would make over £100million if both he and AJ win their upcoming bouts.
      When asked if the money would change his mind, Fury questioned where Hearn was getting this huge lump of cash from.
      He said: “I’m not sure who is going to give us the £100m each. Who is going to pay it?
      “Eddie Hearn hasn’t got it. Eddie Hearn ain’t got it.

      ‘Eddie Hearn ain’t got 20 per cent of that. So, who is going to pay us the £100m each? If he does know someone who is going to give us £100m each then give us a call.
      “I will just add that £100m to the other £200/£300m I’ve already got.” More

      Fury told The Mail on the red carpet at Tuesday’s grand arrivals press event: “I have a phobia of worms.
      “I am absolutely terrified of worms. It’s because my little brother Shane used to fill my wellies up with worms.
      “He used to pick out the biggest worms. I still have nightmares about it now, even when I see adult size welly boots.

      Plus, the venue has come under fire as Saudi Arabia’s royal family continue to be accused of sportswashing amid their dire human rights record. More

      Meanwhile, the American appears ready for the fight and he issued the Brit a plea to get in the ring.

      Fury, 35, is back in action before that this Saturday against ex-UFC king Francis Ngannou in a much-hyped cross-over bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
      The Mancunian then expects to enter the ring with fellow unbeaten crown-holder Usyk, 36, in December.
      And Fury, who twice beat Wilder, was scathing of AJ’s hopes of taking on the same American at one mega event.

      He told IFLTV: “It’s quite embarrassing really when you’ve got a former heavyweight world champion begging for a fight, begging to be on the undercard.
      “Is he a child or what? He wants to go on my undercard?”
      Joshua, however, appears to believe fighting Wilder on the Fury undercard is already part of the schedule.
      He told Sky: “If they get this undisputed fight on, which has been looming for a while, word on the street is that it’s supposed to be the undisputed fighters and then the undercard is supposed to be a big, lively one with me and Wilder.”

      Usyk insists he needs 14 weeks of proper training to prepare.
      But the Gypsy King hit back on Sky Sports: “Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn’t have a choice.
      “He signed the contract, so if he doesn’t, he’s breached contract and he gets sued.”

      Fury has met a lot of celebrities during his celebrated 15-year career in boxing but none of them ever managed to rattle his signature swagger.
      But Lima proved to be the exception to the rule when they crossed paths at an airport in Spain four years ago.
      The Gypsy King was left absolutely stunned by the former Victoria’s Secret model.
      The British superstar was so in awe he even considered asking the Brazilian beauty for a picture.

      Fury told TNT Sports: “I was starstruck once, I was in an airport in Malaga and Adriana Lima came past me, the Victoria’s Secret model.
      “I was like, ‘Damn, she hot’.
      “And I wanted a picture, but I wouldn’t do it because I know how it feels and it’s horrible. It was a few years ago in 2019.”
      Fury will be hoping Lima won’t be at ringside for his next fight against Francis Ngannou as he can’t afford any distractions against one of the toughest hitters in the fighting world.
