By making fun of Anthony Joshua on Instagram, Tyson Fury maintains the animosity. Fans of The Gypsy King are left wanting more when they compare their bodies on social media.
For a long time, boxing fans have fantasized about a potential matchup between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. The prospect of these two enormous heavyweights facing off in the ring has generated a ton of discussion and conjecture as they are now two of Britain’s most renowned heavyweight competitors. However, Fury is fanning the flames of their rivalry in his characteristic brazen manner even though there are no firm arrangements for a fight of that kind.
Tyson Fury Trolls Anthony Joshua with Hilarious Instagram Story.
Fury, at least on social media, isn’t waiting for the bell to start jabbing at Joshua as the boxing community awaits any formal statement. Due to Fury’s actions, there has been speculation about a potential fight. He just posted a humorous comparison of their bodies on Instagram as part of his newest jab. The post acquired a lot of popularity quickly and sparked more fan discussions regarding the two fighters’ different styles.
Fury, known for his larger-than-life personality, posted a picture of Joshua along with a detailed description of his disciplined, nutrition-packed breakfast routine. “My breakfast consists of yams, eggs, and dates. Followed by a big bowl of porridge, a protein shake, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of honey, lemon, and ginger,” read Joshua’s mock-up breakfast, highlighting the Olympian’s strict regimen. But it didn’t stop there.
In true Tyson Fury fashion, the Gypsy King’s caption had an entirely different tone. “I remember one night I had 14 pints of Fosters & then sparred three top-ten heavyweights and battered them all,”Fury quipped, playing up his unorthodox, everyman persona that fans have come to know and love. The post, dripping with sarcasm, was a reminder of Fury’s unique way of engaging with both his fans and rivals.
Fury has a history of trolling Joshua on social media before this most recent post. Joshua may have a well-groomed public persona and a well-defined body, but Fury has always maintained that Joshua’s unwavering confidence and s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 set in the ring would be too much for the two-time heavyweight champion.
Joshua vs. Fury: The Battle of Britain is put on pause as the verbal fighting gets more intense
Even with the ongoing back and forth, it’s still unclear how likely it is that Fury and Joshua will square off. The Battle of Britain may have to wait as Fury is set to fight Oleksandr Usyk, the unified heavyweight champion, on December 21 in one of the most anticipated rematches of the year.
That hasn’t stopped the public from demanding the matchup, though. Joshua wants to reclaim his title as the heavyweight champion, and Fury’s cutting tongue makes a future fight seem all but certain, even though it’s still only a remote possibility.
It remains to be seen if Fury’s taunting will force Joshua to answer, but it is obvious that Fury’s psychological maneuvers are just as significant as his s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s in the ring. Fury is s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed at keeping both himself and his possible rivals on their toes, as always.
Fans can only hope that the stars line up for what would surely turn out to be one of the biggest bouts in British boxing history up to then. For the time being, Fury is obviously enjoying every second of their verbal sparring.
