Tyson Fury dismisses the idea of ever fighting "coward" Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury has dismissed the idea he and Anthony Joshua will ever settle their lengthy feud, branding his fellow Brit a "coward".

The world heavyweight champion looked to be on a collision course with Joshua last year, and briefly again a few weeks ago, but their paths have never crossed in the ring. They had signed a deal for an August 14 bout in Saudi Arabia last year, but Fury ultimately was ordered to face Deontay Wilder for a third time, and talks for a new meeting this year fell apart.

And Fury has since criticised Joshua in a number of interviews, most recently branding his rival a "coward" in an interview with the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel. He has instead opted to face Derek Chisora on December 3 after missing out on another fight date with the two-time champion, and doesn't believe they will ever fight.
