Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) in an interview with Max Kellerman for ESPN spoke about his competitors on the way to the title of king of heavyweights - Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and Alexander Usik (19-0, 13). KO) and, one can easily guess, did not give them special praise. According to the "King of the Gypsies", Joshua is in the twilight of his sports career, and Usyk is a good boxer, but he does not see anything special in him.

“Joshua is a hopeless bastard. As soon as he began to come across better rivals, he immediately began to get a beard. Then he went to America, where real fighters box, and there he was smashed by some fat man who got a fight in a week - he appreciated the performances of his compatriot "King of the Gypsies". — So can you consider him a great boxer? Of course not! He is an idiot. Later, he went out to a real boxer, half his size, and was beaten."

“Joshua is hopeless for me, he will not be able to cope with Usyk in a rematch, so his career is over. Usyk is technically good, a very talented cruiserweight, but in my opinion, there is nothing special about him and he can be easily hit. I just think it's too small and not very fast. He's good, boxing decently and looked like Muhammad Ali against the clumsy Joshua," added Fury, who is set to return against Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) on April 23.
