Tyson Fury brands Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk 'useless' dossers' in new call out

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has called out Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk while naming them 'useless dossers'.

The Gypsy King is currently in training to potentially fight Dillian Whyte in March, but could face another opponent if a deal cannot be agreed to fight Whyte.

Fury 's camp have argued that even a 20 percent split to Whyte is generous and purse bids for the bout have been delayed by a week amid the stand-off.

It's seen speculation of Fury taking another fight in the first quarter of the year increase, as he seeks to remain active ahead of a potential unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.

And Fury has now made his intentions clear that his eyes are on Usyk and Joshua.

Posting a video on his Twitter account, he said: "You know what I can't believe? That AJ has gone and give Ukraine all the heavyweight belts back.

"After all my hard work - you useless dosser."

He added: "It's going to take a real British, Lancaster bomber, like me, to go...and get them back to Britain!

"You useless dossers, honestly. Bring 'em to me! I'll put 'em in their place."

UFC champion Francis Ngannou has also been named as a potential opponent for Fury having made his desire to enter the boxing ring clear.

But amid it all, Fury is remaining focused on his training ahead of his March fight, before eyeing to unify the belts against Joshua or Usyk.
