Tyson Fury claims Anthony Joshua doesn't want to fight him amid yet another roadblock: "I won’t wait for a sausage who’s been knocked spark out by Daniel Dubois”
Top Rank Boxing and MatchroomTyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua has hit another snag, and “The Gypsy King†appears ready to move on.
Many boxing experts and fans believe Fury and Joshua should've shared the ring years ago when both men were in their prime. Fury has insisted that he's ready to take the fight, but he claims Joshua has been holding things up. Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, has insisted that the fight needs to take place in England. Fury's camp is reportedly eyeing Madison Square Garden in New York City instead.
It's yet another hurdle in the way of bringing the bout to fruition. In a new video posted on social media, Fury said he's ready to walk away from the Joshua fight talks for good (via MMAFighting).
“The facts are you don't want to fight,†Fury said. “Because if you did, you'd be ready to rock and roll like I am. Tyson Fury has already said 1,000 times will fight anywhere, no problem at all.
“Turki Alalshikh has paid you tens of millions to fight and you're still acting like little bitches. It is what it is. There's nothing I can do. I can't make a coward fight, can I? At the end of the day, you've showed your true colors. If A.J. was any sort of man, he'd overrule the sausage [Eddie Hearn] and he'd stand up and fight but obviously he's not. That's where we are. Good luck to you. One thing for sure is I won't wait for a sausage who's been knocked spark out by Daniel Dubois.â€
Fury and Joshua both had what was thought to be tune-up fights before their clash. Fury defeated Mariusz Wach via corner stoppage before the eighth round could begin. Joshua struggled a bit more in his bout against Kristian Prenga. While Joshua managed to score the second-round knockout, he had to survive two knockdowns to do so.

Jasmine Jasudavicius expects Erin Blanchfield to wrestle 'once she feels these hands' at UFC Edmonton
Jasmine Jasudavicius is looking to cement herself as a title contender at UFC Edmonton.
Jasudavicius is set to take on Erin Blanchfield in the co-main event of UFC Edmonton. Jasudavicius enters the bout as a +255 underdog while the American is a -350 favorite on FanDuel. The fight was supposed to happen at UFC 330 in August, but an injury to Blanchfield delayed it to August. Although the Canadian was frustrated to have the fight postponed, she is ecstatic for it to be taking place in Edmonton now.
“That is exactly it. It was like two weeks out that I heard it was being moved,†Jasudavicius said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “Initially, I was so frustrated because I just put in a whole camp. I was ready, my weight was good, and I was firing on all cylinders. It got moved, and at least we are fighting in Canada now. This works out even better.â€
With extra time, Jasudavicius said she did take some time off to avoid burnout. But she also feels like the extra time will only help her, as she knows Blanchfield is one of the best in the world.
“She's talented; she's one of the top fighters in the world. I won't be talking too much shit. She's skilled, but I know how skilled I am, and I am ready to test myself against the best girls in the world,†Jasudavicius said.
Jasmine Jasudavicius hopeful to earn title shot at UFC Edmonton
Although Jasudavicius is an underdog, she has full confidence in her skillset. She believes she is better on the feet. So, she expects Blanchfield to try and wrestle her a ton, especially once she lands a couple of punches.
If Jasudavicius can turn Blanchfield into just a wrestler, she is confident she will be able to pull off the upset win at UFC Edmonton.
“I'm not too sure. I've watched all of her fights, and it's not like she's going to the wrestling right away; she is comfortable with striking. But I do think once she feels these hands, she will be shooting a little bit more. … My hand will be raised at the end of the night,†Jasudavicius said.
If Jasudavicius gets her hand raised, she believes it will cement her as a title contender at flyweight. And, it would set up a rematch with Natalia Silva, which the Canadian would be thrilled to get the chance to not only avenge her loss, but to take the belt off her.
“It would mean a lot; it's a big milestone,†Jasudavicius concluded. “Just getting into the UFC is a big deal; getting 10 fights in the UFC is a big deal; to get 10 wins is another feather in my cap. … That would be my dream. She gave me the lost which hurt, so if I can take the belt off her, it would fulfill me. I show well, say I finish Blanchfield, it would be me in the talks to get a title shot.â€
