Tyson Fury mocks rival Anthony Joshua with Christmas cracker joke after fight collapse

Tyson Fury has mocked rival Anthony Joshua with a Christmas cracker joke claiming he doesn't "like the ring".

Fury recently returned to the ring when he defeated former two-time rival Derek Chisora in a trilogy bou t last weekend to set up an undisputed clash with Joshua's conqueror Oleksandr Usyk. It could have been Joshua in the place of Chisora for the WBC title clash however, with the Briton offered the chance to take the showdown which he gladly accepted.

However the fight collapsed which left a sour taste in the mouth of British boxing fans who were keen to see the heavyweight pair finally settle their bitter rivalry. In a recent appearance on Capital radio, Fury came into the studio wearing a Christmas jumper which read "Merry Christmas you dossers" with a picture of his own face on.
