WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury has reacted to former world champion Anthony Joshua's reluctance to fight him.

Earlier, The Gypsy King's promoter Frank Warren revealed that AJ refused to enter the ring against Fury because he already has other plans.

After that, Fury called Joshua a coward, while mentioning Oleksandr Usyk, who, in his opinion, was also afraid to fight him.

"What a real coward! Joshua is as much a cowards as Usyk. Hahaha," Fury wrote on Instagram.

On April 29, Usyk and Fury were supposed to fight for the title of absolute world champion, but the parties could not agree on the terms of the contract for the fight, which is why it was canceled.

After the cancellation of the fight with the "Gypsy King", the Ukrainian team began negotiations about the fight with the mandatory contender for the WBA title, Briton Daniel Dubois.

On April 3, the WBA officially sanctioned the Usyk-Dubois fight.

Earlier it was reported that Fury once again defiantly "ran into" Usyk, supporting former world champion Deontay Wilder, who said the day before that he was Ukrainian afraid to fight him.
