Fury, known as the Gypsy King, taunted Joshua by questioning his abilities, saying, "Him vs Wilder? Battle of the biggest loser? Go and get your own show."

Fury, who has previously defeated Wilder twice, expressed his disdain for Joshua's desire to fight the same opponent, stating, "It's quite embarrassing really when you've got a former heavyweight world champion begging for a fight, begging to be on the undercard. Is he a child or what? He wants to go on my undercard?"

Joshua, on the other hand, seems to believe that his fight against Wilder on Fury's undercard is already part of the plan. He mentioned, "If they get this undisputed fight on, which has been looming for a while, word on the street is that it's supposed to be the undisputed fighters and then the undercard is supposed to be a big, lively one with me and Wilder."
