Former lineal heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is still angry at Tyson Fury, and the situation has affected Joshua’s opinion on who wins the undisputed world heavyweight title bout between Fury and Oleksander Usyk.

Speaking recently to Boxing Social, the British three-time world heavyweight champion said the following about the coming match:

‘I don’t know [who wins] but I’m team Usyk anyway.

‘[There’s] a respect, but Fury’s said a lot of bad things about me. I’m never going to ride with someone that disrespects me.

‘That would make me a lunatic and I’m pretty level-headed.

‘So I’m going to go with the person who shows me respect.’

Joshua also said, ‘I’ve fought Usyk. I think he’s a phenomenal fighter and I think he has a great team around him.

‘You’re only as good as your team and he has a great team around him.

‘After being in the ring with him and studying him, still studying him now, I think he’s the one to edge it.’

The bout will take place at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The date is February 17.
