Tyson Fury to Joshua: “If I ever cross paths with you, I’ll knock you out cold”

Former world champion Tyson Fury addressed British ex–heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on the eve of Joshua’s bout with influencer and boxer Jake Paul.

“Someone just sent me a video of Anthony Joshua saying that if he ever kills someone, he’ll do it in a boxing ring. I’m thinking: you know what, he’s a bit too old to be talking that kind of crap. He’s 37 years old, at the end of his career, fighting a YouTuber, a Disney kid that Tommy [Fury – editor’s note] already beat. And now he’s talking about killing him, all just to sell a fight. Please. You’re barking up the wrong tree, you idiot.

Here’s a fun fact for you: if I ever cross paths with you, you bum, I’ll knock you out cold. I’m not a YouTuber and I’m not a guy half your size. I’m a man. You’re a classless loser coming off a 15-month-old knockout defeat to a local lad. Imagine if someone from Morecambe [Fury’s hometown – editor’s note] had knocked me out. You’re a big worthless bum. Wake up. And I can’t wait for Jake Paul to knock you out cold, you big bum. Wake up,” Fury said.

The fight between Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) and Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) will take place on 19 December in Miami, USA. Full broadcast and undercard details are available at the link.
