TYSON FURY claimed he could beat 'bums' Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk in the SAME NIGHT.
Fury was just a few steps away from fighting AJ in the summer before he was assigned to a contract for a three-fight series with Deontay wilder.
Tyson Fury claimed that he could beat Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Uzyk the same night
Similar to last year, talks to face Usyk ended after Joshua failed to reach a step-aside agreement for unification to be granted the green light.
Fury instead defended his title against Dillian Whyte, the mandatory challenger, and shrugged off any threat from his rivals.
He said to iFL TV, "I would fight Usyk seven times a week, 62 on a Sunday in my backyard."
"I would fight Joshua and Usyk on the same night. I don't value them. They're bums compared with me.
"So that I can avoid someone, I've just fought Deontay wilder three times.
"Do you think that I care about a bodybuilder or a middleweight? They'll be destroyed."

Joshua, 32, had been stunned by Usyk 35 two weeks prior and immediately invoked his right for an immediate rematch.
However, the Middle Eastern backers were financing money and AJ was encouraged to stop talking and allow Fury fight the Ukrainians for all the belts.
Joshua claimed that Usyk wanted a warmup fight before facing him. This would have meant Joshua had to sit out for two fights.
Fury retaliated and accused AJ, claiming that AJ had ruined the title decider by asking too much money for his rematch.
He stated: "Just to be clear, AJ wanted more money and he believed I would give him five million more.
"Usyk will win his fight with me, it's not a problem, once he beat Joshua again.
"Then Joshua is not a candidate to fight for the undisputed champion, end of."
