Anthony Joshua has slammed rival Tyson Fury on social media following his bizarre X-rated rant at a YouTuber.
The Gypsy King cursed and insulted social media star True Geordie – real name Brian Davis – in a viral interview after he questioned Fury’s trilogy fight against Derek Chisora.
Joshua responded by telling SPORTbible that boxers needed to behave better in order to set a good example for young people.
“Listen, it’s one thing to be the champion of the ring, and it’s quite another to be the champion of the people outside of the ring,” he explained.
“We need to conduct ourselves better because there are children watching us.”
“I’m not a judge who can say what’s right or wrong; we just have to try to behave better when we can, when we’re in front of the camera.” Just try when we can. ‘Try, try, try, that’s for the young fighters.’
Fury reacted angrily when Davis asked if boxing fans wanted to see a third fight between him and Chisora, whom he easily defeated in 2011 and 2014.
“I think you’re a t****r,” said the WBC world heavyweight champion. You’re a t***pot. And I’m not going to do any more interviews with you, t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t****r. You little w**ker, kiss my b**ls. “You, you little sh**house.”
Davis asked Fury if he was having trouble ending the video call after laughing his way through the abuse, prompting the heavyweight to respond, “Suck a d**k.”
On December 3, the undefeated Fury (33-0-1) will face the 38-year-old veteran Chisora (33-12) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
