Boxing is back in full swing, and the heavyweight division is still hot while Tyson Fury is at the top.
“The Gypsy King” took the opportunity to bust shots at former unified champion and fellow U.K. heavyweight star Anthony Joshua. Fury claims that A.J. is afraid of him, labeling him a “coward” for not fighting him.
Everybody Can Get It
However, in true Fury fashion, more people in his division caught the wrath. Other heavyweights were brought into the line of fire including new unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Dillian Whyte.
The whole tirade began on social media when Fury was asked to respond to fans asking who he was fighting next.
Joshua is a coward.
Usyk is a pussy.
Whyte don’t want to fight.

“I’m being asked this question over and over again. I do not know the answer to it. I’m ready to fight this weekend. I’ve been training three weeks; how long does a man need to train?” said Fury.
“Joshua’s a coward, Usyk’s a p***y and Dillan Whyte doesn’t wanna fight. So, if you can prove me wrong, get to f***king fighting you pair of cowards. You’re all cowards! You’re all bum duffers! Have a fight or do one you pack of wet lettuces.”
The Fire And The Fury
Fury, named after legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, last fought in the trilogy ending against heavyweight star Deontay Wilder. Fury finished Wilder, who wanted to go out on his shield, and immediately became the most dangerous man on the planet.
“I’m just gonna keep videoing until one of these cowards decide to fight. You’re all cowards! S*** house bums! I don’t care who I fight — AJ, Usyk, Dillan Whyte, or any of them. Fight me! I’m the best man that’s ever lived. These are all coward bum duffers. I’ll annihilate the liars and destroyers, submitters, tap you bitches out. Come and fight!

WBC Orders Whyte
With Anthony Joshua having activated his rematch goal with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury will face interim titlist and fellow British boxer Dillian Whyte per the WBC.
“The WBC hereby orders the start of the free negotiations period pursuant to the WBC Rules & Regulations for the mandatory bout between WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and Mandatory Challenger and WBC Interim World Champion Dillian Whyte,” the WBC said via statement.
However, although Fury wants Joshua and ultimately Usyk if he keeps the belts, the WBC had already planned before Fury’s defeat of Wilder.

Heavyweight Moves Made
A few days before Wilder’s eleventh round knockout on Oct. 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the WBC issued a resolution stating that the Fury-Wilder III winner would be mandated to next face the interim titleholder, which is Whyte.

That could have changed if the winner of Fury vs. Wilder 3 could finalize an undisputed title fight with Usyk within 30 days.
