By Shaun Murphy-
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has predicted a second defeat of Anthony Joshua to Oleksander Usyk because the Londoner is simply a cross fit bum who can’t fight.
Joshua lost for the second time to Olegsander Usyk unbeaten Ukranian last September, and Fury who remains at the top of the heavyweight tree with an unblemished record is exercising his authority as king of the ring to berate both Joshua and Usyk as unfit contenders for his title.

Fury takes on mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte – and then topple IBF, WBO, IBO, WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk on April 23, likely at Wembley Stadium.
Usyk faces Anthony Joshua in a rematch, with a target date being positioned for the month of May, but Fury is writing of his chances of returning to the big time.
“You can only take who you can fight at the time,” Fury said to The National. “I’ve got Dillian Whyte next and then there’s a little sucker called Usyk who I’m going to absolutely set about rotten. The middleweight. Send him packing. Send him back down to middleweight. That’s all I’m going to do.

“AJ’s a big old bodybuilder. He ain’t worth a carrot. I don’t want to hear how good Usyk is. Let him fight a real heavyweight. He fought an old journeyman in Derek Chisora and it was life and death.
“And then he fought a bodybuilder who’s not even a boxer and had a life-and-death [fight]. Until he fights a real fighting man you can’t call him a champion. All roads lead to me; I’m the ‘Gypsy King’. If he can beat me I’d say he’s a good man. But if he can’t I’ll still say he’s useless.”
Fury expects Usyk to defeat Joshua again when they meet for a second time. Joshua, who was once the Uk’s golden boxing star, has lost a lot of credibility since losing to Andy Ruiz Jnr in 2019, despite avenging the defeat later that year in Saudi Arabia. His second defeat to former cruiserweight champion Usyk, severely affected his ratings with the public.
There had been speculations that Joshua was going to accept step aside money for Fury and Usyk to meet for the unification , but it is now a done deal that Joshua and Usyk.
