But Tyson Fury’s dad John, doesn’t believe either Joshua or Usyk truly want to face the hard-hitting American, Deontay Wilder.
Speaking about Wilder to Freebets, Gypsy John said:
“They’re all terrified of him.
“Tyson straightened him out three times.
“All those people will never get in with The Bronze Bomber. Usyk, AJ, none of them will fight The Bronze Bomber.”
Meanwhile the WBC heavyweight king, Tyson Fury faces the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28th in Saudi Arabia.

Do you think the Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder fight will materialise? Let us know in the comments.
No chance why don’t they put up or shut up against the gypsy king give us what we all want too see
Joshua will fight or be mandatory to fight tyson fury before wilder. Tyson fury if he keeps hold of his belt will be told to fight Joshua as a mandatory fight and he won’t be able to get out of it. AJ will win. Then the fight for Usyk and Wilder will be set up. That will fall through. AJ Will then fight Wilder. Win. Then the fight with AJ and Usyk will come around AJ will win. He will become undisputed champion. Then fight Usyk in mandatory rematch and lose. Usyk then retires undisputed champion. Tyson fury. Has a heart attack and becomes silent.
