Tyson Fury has launched a scathing attack on Anthony Joshua, calling him a ‘chiselled idiot who is afraid of his own shadow’.
The British heavyweight’s strong words come in response to his rival Joshua failing to agree a fight with Deontay Wilder – a decision that he insists means he has to go to America to fight him instead.
Fury returns with a bout against Francesco Pianeta in Belfast next weekend, after which he is expected to fly to Vegas for a showdown with the American superstar.

‘I’m going to knock Pianeta out. Then, I’m going to go to Las Vegas and spank Wilder all over it. He’s a dosser who’s never fought anybody. When you look at Wilder’s record, who’s he fought?’
Fury has previously confirmed December as the month for his fight with Wilder, although no official date has been confirmed by his promoters.
Joshua, meanwhile, is readying himself for a fight with Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium at the end of September.
