TYSON FURY predicted old rival Deontay Wilder would knock out ‘bum’ Anthony Joshua inside three rounds.
Fury, who shared an epic trilogy series with Wilder, posted a mocked up poster of the American and AJ.
And he tweeted: “I’d say @BronzeBomber would KO the bum inside 3 rounds.”
Fury and 36-year-old Wilder’s history stretches back to 2018 when they dramatically drew in Los Angeles.
But the Gypsy King recorded two stoppage wins in the rematch and subsequent trilogy bout.
Joshua , 32, meanwhile most recently lost to former undisputed cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk and is set to rematch the Ukrainian this year.
AJ’s two career losses, to Usyk, 35, and Andy Ruiz Jr, 32, in 2019, where blasted by Fury.
He told ESPN: “As soon as he stepped up he got chinned, then he went to America where the real fighters are and got obliterated by a fat kid on two weeks notice.
“So do I think he is a great fighter? Hell no. I think he is a useless bum. Then he fought a boxer half his size and a foot shorter than him and got outboxed.
“If you think going into a boxing fight for the world heavyweight title is not trying to win, yeah I would give him that title.
“For me he is a useless old bum and he won’t get past Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight and his career is over.
“However I think Usyk is a good boxer, a very talented cruiserweight boxer but I think he is no great shake and is hittable.
“I just think he is small and not fast, he is okay and a decent boxer he looks like Muhammad Ali compared to stiff-ass there.”
Fury, 33, could get his shot at Joshua or Usyk, later in the year, but first faces WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, 33, set for April.
He said: “I just think he is an average looking heavyweight. Six feet three inches, 245 pounds, slow feet, slow hands and average power.
“Talk about tailor-made for a gifted boxer like myself, I should chop him down like a big old tree like cutting through cheese really.”
