Tyson Fury continues to goad his heavyweight rivals, leading an adoring crowd on his speaking tour to insult Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
‘The Gypsy King’ has made it his business to intimidate and put down anybody who wants to have a shot at his throne, and it was no different at his most recent celebrity appearance.
Billed as a meet and greet with ‘the greatest heavyweight of his generation’, the Morecambe man has been travelling the UK with his Fury Fest – The Afterparty tour where fans can watch the WBC champion speak and get a chance to meet him.
His latest was this weekend at London’s the indigo at The O2, and he started a bit of audience participation in the form of some singalongs – Usyk is a dosser and AJ is a pussy.

It’s hard to see the jibes fazing Usyk, who recently kept his cool as he faced off with Fury and 60,000 British fans. If negotiations continue to go well, the talking will stop and they will be settling things in the ring.
An announcement is expected soon a for an undisputed clash in the Middle East for early 2023 – the winner leaving the ring as the first sole heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.
As for ‘AJ’, it’s still a fight fans want to see. The domestic dust up is high on the list of heavyweight fights that must happen before this generation switches to the next, but two sets of negotiations have failed to make it.
Hopes have been dashed further by Fury claiming on many occasions that Joshua isn’t in his plans for the next twelve months, even going as far to say that the former champion has missed his chance altogether.
Still, the optimistic fans believe that one day that chant might be taking place as the two fighters walk to the ring.
