Tyson Fury denies uncle Peter is helping Anthony Joshua: "categorically" untrue
Fury says his uncle "would be a Fredo, scorpion, snake, rat" if he helped Joshua, after Joshua said Peter is "willing to help me".
Tyson Fury says his uncle Peter would be a "rat" and a "snake" if he helped Anthony Joshua, and that he knows he is neither.
"I can't believe I've had to come on here and do this video," Fury said in a video posted on social media. "All this talk of Peter Fury training Anthony Joshua or giving him advice on how to beat me, I could categorically say that's untrue, because even if Peter Fury hated me, he's still family, and that would mean he would be a Fredo, scorpion, snake, rat, b*****d, piece of s**t if he did that."
"So I could categorically say today without speaking to anybody that that's untrue, because I've known Peter Fury my whole life and I know him to be none of those people that I've just said. He's none of the above. So let's just leave it at that, shall we?"
Joshua has told The Ring that he speaks to Peter Fury, who trained Tyson in the past. "He's willing to help me as well," Joshua said.
