Wow..Very nice AJ! – Anthony Joshua Wants To Punish Tyson Fury For Silly Sausage Comment: “He was beaten by MMA fighter” | HO

Anthony Joshua banks comment and uses it for fuel…

Anthony Joshua delivered a furious message to ‘trash-talking’ Tyson Fury following his brutal knockout of Francis Ngannou.

The 2012 Olympic boxing champion took just two rounds to fell Cameroon star Ngannou, who was entering just his second bout in professional boxing as he crossed over from MMA. The 35-year-old Brit dominated from bell to bell in the short fight at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua was able to knock Ngannou down in each round before delivering a right hand that saw the referee end the contest with the former UFC fighter left on the canvas. Ngannou required medical treatment following the devastating knockout.

Fury was present to watch Joshua’s victory at ringside and also took on some broadcast opportunities both before and after the fight. The Gypsy King was only able to narrowly navigate his way past Ngannou in October and is next expected to fight in May to defend his heavyweight championship against Oleksandr Usyk.

In completing these duties, Fury causes offence as he labelled both members of the main event ‘sausages’. Joshua judged Fury to be disrespectful and had a blunt message for the boxing champion.
“F**k Tyson Fury,” Joshua told iFL TV. “I don’t like trash-talking people but I heard him say something like, ‘Oh, I’m here to do commentary about these two sausages’, or something like that.

“Bro, that guy that I fought, that he fought, is an ex-UFC heavyweight champion, a phenomenal story, someone who’s changed his life around. He’s just too disrespectful. So forget anything about him right now.”

Anthony Joshua made lightwork of Francis Ngannou

A clash between Joshua and Fury has been much-anticipated over the years. Despite Joshua making lighter work of his opponent that Fury did months before, the pair may yet still have some time before a fight can be made.

Fury said in Saudi Arabaia that he could be open to the meeting however. Although, it would have to come after two bouts with Usyk.

“There’s quite a long way to go, there’s always been a lot of s*** getting in the way of it,” Fury said. “I’ve got bigger fish to fry, 18 May, then we have a rematch in October. After that, if he’s still available and I’m available, let’s get it on.

“Yes, it goes both ways, he can do what he wants, whoever he fights, he can’t wait a year, inactivity is no good. After I beat Usyk, the IBF will be vacant, so maybe he can fight Hrgovic. I’m healing well, I’m not even in camp yet, I’ll go to camp at the end of March and I’ll spar then.”

“He was beaten by MMA fighter” – Fans react as Tyson Fury calls Anthony Joshua “big, useless sausage”

Anthony Joshua recently found himself on the receiving end of Tyson Fury’s oratorical trash-talking.

‘The Gypsy King’ is preparing to square off against Oleksandr Usyk in a 12-round clash for the historic undisputed heavyweight championship, set to take place on May 18 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

During a recent conversation with TNT Sports, Fury found himself unable to overlook his compatriot ‘AJ’. Joshua’s recent resurgence after consecutive losses to Usyk, particularly his remarkable victory over Francis Ngannou last month, has ignited excitement among fans eagerly awaiting their long-anticipated showdown with the WBC heavyweight champion.

After ‘The Gypsy King’ previewed his upcoming showdown with Usyk, he was questioned about any concerns regarding Joshua’s recent form. Fury replied:

“I just want to say, ‘AJ’ is a big fat sausage. Should I say a big useless sausage? AJ, I know it’s been rattling your cage, you big useless sausage. When I beat this guy [Usyk] who beat you twice I think, get up.”

Fury’s remarks stirred up a diverse spectrum of reactions from fans.

One fan wrote:

“AJ dropped, and KO’D the guy that dropped him.”

Another wrote:

“Coming from the Gypsy Queen the sausage heavyweight duck.”

Fury is coming off a split decision win against the former UFC heavyweight champion last October. However, a severe cut above Fury’s right eye, sustained during a sparring session just one day before, led to the postponement of the bout.

Bob Arum hints at Wembley bout for Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua

Top Rank CEO, Bob Arum recently said that should Tyson Fury emerge victorious against Oleksandr Usyk, a potential showdown with Anthony Joshua could be on the cards, possibly at Wembley Stadium in London.

During a recent interview with Sky Sports, Arum stated:

“Looking at Tyson Fury, if he beats Usyk and fights Usyk again and beats him and then does a massive fight hopefully in the UK at Wembley Stadium against Joshua, that would really put an exclamation point to his great career.”
Arum also kept open the possibility of a Fury vs. Joshua bout happening later this year, suggesting that ‘The Cat’ might be inclined to forgo a rematch in favor of the financial opportunities such a matchup could present.
