Tyson Fury has declared himself a superior boxer in comparison with Anthony Joshua saying he doesn’t have what it takes to confront him and Oleksandr Usyk in the heavyweight fight league.
Fury stated this after Joshua’s thrilling outing, where he knocked down former UFC fighter, Francis Ngannou in the second round of the boxing match in the early hours of Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
While impressed with the knockout, Fury maintained Joshua remains behind him and Usyk in their division‘s ranking.
“I’m sure that Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say about that [Joshua being one in the world] considering he beat him twice in the last few years,’ Fury said.
‘And me and Usyk have got an undisputed world heavyweight championship coming up.
‘He’s just had a show fight in Saudi Arabia, which is fantastic for the show, but for the actual real boxing, it’s me and Usyk who fight for the number one and number two position for the undisputed championship of the world.’
‘I think there’s quite a long way to go for a fight with Joshua and some reason over the last five years there’s always been some s**t that gets in the way of it and this time the s**t is the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
‘So that (the fight with Joshua) is on the back burner for now. Great performance from AJ, fantastic, but unfortunately I’ve got bigger fish to fry in Usyk on May 18 and then we have a rematch in October.
‘So, after that, if he’s still available, and I’m still available, let’s get it on.’
