‘He’s dead in my eyes’ – Tyson Fury gives incredibly blunt answer when asked about fighting Anthony Joshua

TYSON FURY has closed the door on a fight between him and Anthony Joshua because he is “dead in his eyes”.

The heavyweight stars were on course for a Battle of Britain showdown in December but the blockbuster fight failed to come to fruition.

Fury now has his sights set on a historic undisputed heavyweight clash with fellow undefeated boxing star Oleksandr Usyk.

And the Gypsy King insists he has “no interest” in facing off against AJ in the near future.

Fury said: “I don’t even go there anymore.

“No interest in any AJ questions. Zero. Man’s dead in my eyes.

“There’s no business between me and him to be done. Finished.”

Joshua has also turned his attention elsewhere as he is looking to rebuild his career following two consecutive losses to Usyk.

The 33-year-old is set to face off against Jermaine Franklin in his April 1 return.

But the British star’s promoter Eddie Hearn insists his client will be ready to face Fury in the summer if the Gypsy King’s talks with Usyk collapse.

Hearn said: “I don’t know what’s gonna happen with this Usyk thing. He may fight Fury next.

“We’d be open to that fight. If Usyk doesn’t fight Fury, AJ will fight Fury next, in the summer if he gets through Franklin.

“How about that? Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. He will.”
