Darren Till blasts Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight rumors - "No one is a**ed"

Tyson Fury is coming off a recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk in a high-stakes undisputed heavyweight title fight in December 2024. On the other hand, Anthony Joshua suffered a devastating KO loss to Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight championship in September 2024. 'AJ' recently revealed that he intends to fight Fury in 2025 which didn't go well with Darren Till.

As the 35-year-old British boxer's statement was posted on X by Sky Sports, the former UFC welterweight title contender expressed his anger in a long post in response to it. While questioning the relevance of the showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua he wrote:

"5 years too late. No one is a*ed. Respect the f*ck out of the both of you. But you and ur promoters wanted to play who’s got the biggest d*ck so the fight is just like yeh… we’ll watch it but we’re not f*cking a*sed. Why on gods green earth didn’t use fight when use were both on tears years ago? It’s not the same now and that is why Dana is laughing again. Soon as the best reach the top they fight each other."

Till concluded:

"Sorry to rant but I think a lot of people will agree… I actually feel like it’s an insult to the fanbase for us to give use hundreds of millions when really we should have got this fight years ago so yeh… f*ck off AJ we’re not a*sed mate!"

Pertinently, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been speculated to lock horns with each other multiple times in the past. In 2021, it was widely reported that the duo would fight as the two teams had reached a consensus. A year later they were supposed to fight each other but 'The Gypsy King' had to take on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy showdown.

When Tyson Fury played down Oleksandr Usyk in the past

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have faced each other two times in 2024. The duo locked horns for the first time in May 2024 when Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. They later squared off against each other in December 2024, with Fury coming up short yet again and losing by a unanimous decision.

Before Oleksandr Usyk reached the level of prominence in professional boxing he is at now, Tyson Fury had once refused to fight him for "big fights." In an old video posted by ACD MMA on X, the British heavyweight boxer is seen saying:

"I want the big fights and that ain’t one of them. He’s a foreigner in a westernised world. The heavyweight champion should be from Britain or America and nowhere else."
