Tyson Fury’s father claims Anthony Joshua will retire before facing son because he’s ‘frightened’
Tyson Fury’s father insists Anthony Joshua will retire before he faces his son because he’s “frightened” and will not risk ruining his legacy.
Fury became a two-time world heavyweight champion by knocking out Deontay Wilder in the seventh round to claim the WBC title.
While Joshua has the other three versions of the title, previously held by Fury before he vacated them during his hiatus from the sport.
Eddie Hearn has already “promised” the fight will happen once Joshua beats Kubrat Pulev and Fury wins the trilogy against Wilder.
But John Fury insists the undisputed fight between the pair will not happen, claiming before Saturday’s fight that Joshua can’t afford to spoil his legacy by fighting Fury.
“They’re levels apart. You know like the aliens are like years in front of us in terms of brain power,” John Fury told IFL TV.
“That’s how my son is in front of Joshua in terms of ability.
“He can’t do it, he’s got slow feet, he has got some fast hands, he goes one-two, left hook, chin stuck in the air.
“You’ve seen him, he’s blowing out of his arse the moment he has any pressure put on him. Tyson will do more than put pressure on him.
“He’ll be crying after four rounds. I don’t think you’ll see it, because he’s too frightened, he’ll retire before he faces Tyson. The Gypsy King will retire him before he even figths him.
“He hasn’t got anything to beat him with. He don’t need money. He’s a trillionaire, he don’t need it. So why would you muck your legacy by letting a big gypo spark you right out? End of.”
