Tyson Fury has angrily responded to Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, hurling countless obscenities at the two in a video on social media.

Usyk had recently said that Fury is afraid of him, while Joshua accepted terms of a potential all-British showdown set to happen later this year.

Fury has angrily hit back at rival heavyweight boxers Usyk and Joshua in an animated Instagram rant, according to talkSPORT. Usyk said that he wants to beat Fury and middleweight boxer Canelo Alvarez before he retires.

The Gypsy King and Joshua are expected to fight in a highly anticipated bout later this year and has intensified his attack on Joshua. He suffered defeat from Usyk last month.

Fury fires back at Usyk

Usyk said he just wants to beat Fury and unify the belts before hanging his gloves, according to ESPN.

I only need to beat Fury and then it is time to retire for me. The unification of all the belts is much more important than just a fight or another defence.

The 34-year-old WBC champion was unhappy about Usyk's comments and didn't mince his words.

Usyk – you little s***house, you little s***bag. Talking s***e, I’m afraid of you? I’ll put my fist right through the side of you, you little sausage.

Joshua did not escape Fury's furore. He said he does not feel like Joshua is ready to fight him in December.

And the other s***house, that big bodybuilder Joshua, that’s a proper s***house that it. Had the contract for I don’t know how long and ain’t signing it. You little sausage, you do not wanna fight, your manager’s a sausage.

Joshua recently accepted a 60/40 purse split in favour of Fury for a potential blockbuster fight, but it is not official yet.

Tyson Fury teases Anthony Joshua again

Sports Brief earlier reported on Fury taunting Joshua asking him to stop running scared. The fight between the two British heavyweights has been floated for years, but an actual face-to-face has never materialised.

Joshua isn't in his best form after losing three of his last five bouts, but a clash with Fury offers him a rare opportunity to bounce back from August's humiliation against Usyk.
