Tyson Fury's dad aims "toilet" jibe at Oleksandr Usyk after fight collapsed

Tyson Fury's father John has claimed Oleksandr Usyk will only fight his son when he runs out of toilet paper after their clash was delayed.

The 'Gypsy King' declared his intention to return to the ring to compete for the undisputed crown following Usyk's rematch victory over Anthony Joshua in August. Talks had already been held over a potential fight for all the marbles, with the fight initially touted to take place in December in Saudi Arabia.

However the unified champion has elected to return home and rest following his previous outing, which makes a potential fight unlikely to happen until early next year. Fury's dad John has now hit out at Usyk, claiming that a fight can be only made once Usyk decides he may be able to beat the WBC champion.
