# Tyson Fury BLASTS “Disgrace” Anthony Joshua: Fury vs Wilder?

Former unified World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has launched an astonishing attack on WBA/WBO/IBF belt-holder Anthony Joshua, labelling him “a disgrace to boxing” for failing to agree a deal to take on WBC champion Deontay Wilder.

Fury, who ended a two-and-a-half year hiatus from the sport with a return in Manchester in April, has been very vocal in his proclamations about returning to the top of the division – and pulled no punches when talking of Joshua.

*“I think it’s such a sad time for heavyweight boxing,”* said Fury in a video posted on his official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Tyson_Fury) page.

*“You’ve got the so-called super champion and golden boy, Anthony Joshua, and he is avoiding Deontay Wilder and will not fight him at any cost.”* he continued.

> Just imagine if I went to America & beat [@BronzeBomber](https://twitter.com/BronzeBomber?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) or at least had the nuts ? to try! Unlike some pussys in this country…………. [pic.twitter.com/SIO2WrXWjm](https://t.co/SIO2WrXWjm)

The self-styled ‘Gypsy King’ would go on to reference the breakdown in negotiations between Joshua and Wilder, before teasing a possible stateside showdown between himself and ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

*“If you’re not going to fight someone for £40million, you’re not going to fight him for anything. It’s a disgrace and he’s a disgrace to boxing.”* Fury stated.

*“And I think it needs somebody good enough to step up and take on the challenges and not be afraid – not be afraid to take risks and go to people’s backyards and do it.”*

With promoter Frank Warren revealing in an [exclusive interview with Boxing Social](https://youtu.be/aSxiEWdZYRQ) that he had been in contact with Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel about a proposed bout between the pair, Fury alluded to a potential match-up with the WBC king.

*“Can you imagine if I went to America and beat Deontay Wilder in America? After beating Klitschko in Germany?”* said Fury.

*“It would be sensational. It might happen. Who knows? Wait for the news.”* he finished.
