Tyson Fury slams dad John’s shock friendship with Anthony Joshua and orders him to ‘sever ties’ with British rival
TYSON FURY mocked his dad John’s shock friendship with Anthony Joshua and ordered them to “sever ties”.
AJ has been full of praise for John over the years and claimed he would even be up for a pint of Guinness one day.
But son Tyson, 34, is not a fan and wants the surprise friendship over.
He told iFL TV: “He keeps blowing my dad off like, ‘Oh, I think John Fury’s a legend, he’s a top bloke.’
“Whatever you’ve got going on with him, I don’t like it sever ties with the old p****. Man’s a p****, s***house.
“All of a sudden he’s my dad’s best friend, ‘Oh, I want to go out for a drink with John Fury,’ he said.
“I was like what the f***! Why doesn’t he want to go for a drink with me? Because I would punch him in the mouth.”
The hilarious rant came after AJ claimed John would not let Tyson retire without the pair finally fighting.
Joshua, 33, said: “I don’t think his dad will let him not fight me. His dad’s a proper guy. I like his dad.”
The two-time heavyweight champion is yet to return following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 35.

Usyk is now in talks for the division’s first four-belt unification against Fury, set for the Middle East.
It leaves AJ frozen out of the title picture and further than ever from a fight with the Gypsy King.
But John admitted he would be honoured to sit down for Joshua, as their mutual respect strengthens.
He said: “I’d be privileged to go out for a drink with AJ. I’m my own man, I say what I want to say.
“This is a sport, we’re in a boxing game, AJ is a nice kid.
“He’s given us a lot of pleasurable nights, he has been a good world champion and let me tell you something, if the kid gives me props, I can only thank him can’t I?
“I’d only be a p***k to say anything else wouldn’t I? But I am me, my son is him, I know my son is the best in the world by a country mile, but it don’t stop me liking anybody and AJ is a likeable guy ain’t he?”
