Tyson Fury hits out at "bulls***" idea of four-man heavyweight tournament

Tyson Fury has dismissed rumours of a "bulls***" four-man tournament featuring himself and Anthony Joshua.

The 'Gypsy King' has yet to step in the ring this year after month of negotiations with Oleksandr Usyk over an undisputed fight collapsed at the eleventh hour with no agreement reached. Fury's future has yet to be entirely clarified but it is expected he will instead target a return of July in a voluntary title defence which could be against Andy Ruiz Jr or Zhilei Zhang.

However last week radio host Simon Jordan suggested that negotiations were underway for a four-man tournament featuring Fury, who would face Usyk, while Joshua could step in the ring with Deontay Wilder on the same night. Wilder's trainer Malik Scott confirmed negotiations were underway, with Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn also admitting that Saudi Arabia had expressed interest in the idea.
