Tyson Fury did not hold back when asked about Anthony Joshua's wishes to fight on the undercard of his fight against Francis Ngannou.

The former Unified heavyweight champion of the world is set to fight the former UFC heavyweight champion of the world on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event is one of the biggest crossover events in combat sports since Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor.

When asked about Joshua's wish to fight on the undercard of the event, Tyson Fury replied by saying:

"It's quite embarrassing really when you've got a former heavyweight champion begging for a fight, begging to be on the undercard. I'm sure I seen something last night or I hear I'm going to go on the undercard vs Wilder. Is he a child or what? He wants to go on my undercard? Him and Wilder? In a battle of the biggest loser? Go and get your own show."

Tyson Fury was not very impressed with the proposition and urged Anthony Joshua to go and get his own promotion and be happy with what he gets. The pair have been trash-talking for a while now and have made it clear that they dislike each other. Fans are still waiting for the fight between the two.

Tyson Fury goes off on Anthony Joshua and reveals that their fight will never happen

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is one of the most requested matchups by boxing fans—two of the best heavyweight fighters to come out of the UK, both arguably in their prime. However, the fight has never even come close to fruition despite the very evident interest by the fans.

In a recent interview with IFL TV, Fury revealed that the fight will never happen:

"That bird has flown. Do you know why? Because there's one sentence. They're out in the cold, frozen and that's it. They're not relevant, they are not relevant to me and I should not be relevant to them at all. However, it's the only way that certain people, mention no names, Eddie Hearn, can stay relevant, is by talking about the champ."

Take a look at the interview:

Tyson Fury made it very clear that he is not interested in Anthony Joshua or Eddie Hearn because one year ago, they refused to answer Frank Waren's calls when Fury 'was out in the cold'.
