No bad blood with Joshua – Fury

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 13, 2024

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has insisted that there is no bad blood between him and Anthony Joshua and he would be willing to share a meal with him to prove it, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The two boxing titans have spent years rivalling each other building towards a Battle of Britain bout and Joshua revealed he will use Fury’s decade of trash-talking to fuel a spiteful performance over his heavyweight rival.

But Fury has now played down a feud with the British-Nigerian saying, “What, because I called him a sausage? Has he ever said anything bad to me that’s personal, or me to him?

“If he was here now, we’d go for a beer and a jam sandwich, or I’d take him out for fish and chips. I’d take him back to my house to meet my kids and take a picture. What, you think there’s bad blood between two boxers? Behave yourself.”

Joshua once revealed that Fury would randomly call him on the phone and claim he was going to knock him out and Fury has never held back when it comes to aiming a verbal jab at his rival.

And Joshua said on The Jonathan Ross Show, “This is one of my rivals, this is someone I want to compete with one day.

“So everything he says, I’ve got it all stored in the back of my memory and when the fight happens, I’m going to use it as a lot of fuel.”

The 34-year-old is coming off the back of four wins on the bounce, most recently knocking out MMA star Francis Ngannou in March.

Ngannou, 37, dropped Fury in October on his boxing debut only to lose a controversial split-decision.

Fury now prepares for a potential double header against Oleksandr Usyk, 37, starting with their May 18 unification bout and Joshua will be waiting in the wings with the hopes of facing Fury if he prevails with the heavyweight
crown.
