Current World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has replied his fellow countryman and heavyweight nemesis Anthony Joshua
“Anthony Joshua, has it ever dawned on you I’m not interested in being a superstar, or famous?
“I’m a fighting man & only interested in smashing your face in.
“You keep the stardom, I’ll stay real, you big dosser.
“’I’m coming for you, superstar. Tick tock, tick tock.” the self styled Gypsy king reiterated in a subtle reply.
Earlier, Anthony Joshua sarcastically offered to manage Tyson Fury for what termed consistently trying to leverage on his ‘stardom’ with his consistent mentioning.
“I do think he should come over to Matchroom and 258 Management and let us handle his career,” AJ said.
“He’s a superstar, he’s a superstar in the making with the right management. He could go all the way.
“Build it up, award him Sports Personality of the Year. That video he did [on Wednesday, when he asked to be removed from the SPOTY shortlist] should be him saying, ‘I’m accepting my award’, not that, ‘I don’t want to be a part of it’.
“We’ll have a look at his PR, we’ll strip it all back and make this fight what it’s supposed to be.
“He’s got a lot of potential.” Joshua stated.
But obviously the statement did not go down well with Tyson Fury hence the response.
Joshua and Fury are billed to Unify the heavyweight division in 2020.
