December 06,(THEWILL) – Tyson Fury has blamed Anthony Joshua for the beating he gave Derek Chisora during their trilogy match on Saturday night.
Boxing audiences had longed to see an all-British heavyweight bout between Fury and Joshua, and it was on the cards to become a reality when, earlier this year, the two agreed to a contract to fight. However, the contract was not signed soon enough and Fury, who gave Joshua a short deadline to sign, lost patience and the bout was cancelled.
This made it possible for Chisora to join the fray and face Fury a third time. “The Gypsy King” gained victory in Round 10 after a commanding performance to make it three out of three against Chisora, who had previously lost to Fury via unanimous decision in 2011 and via stoppage in 2014.
When questioned about a prospective bout with Joshua after the fight, Fury responded: “Nope, because man’s a sausage and it should have been him here tonight. But he had poor old Derek take a good hiding again, stepping in his boots.”
Fury also called out Oleksandr Usyk, who did the double over Joshua, using expletives: “Usyk you’re next you little b****. You are next. Me and you next. You’re next. Rabbit! P****! 15st little midget bodybuilder. Well, I ain’t a bodybuilder, I’m going to write you off. I already done one Ukrainian in [Wladimir] Klitschko, didn’t I? And I’ll do you as well, gappy teeth.”
