TYSON FURY has blamed everyone else in the heavyweight division for his lack of action this year.
The 34-year-old WBC heavyweight king tried to lure Anthony Joshua into a short-notice December showdown but the London 2012 legend pulled out.
Tyson Fury has launched a profanity-laden rant aimed at his boxing rivals
Anthony Joshua and Fury were in talks for a massive fight
But it was Fury who walked away from a Saudi-funded Undisputed decider with Oleksandr Usyk, after the Ukraine icon had signed his side of the contract for a 50-50 split.
And it was the Gypsy King who moved the goalposts so many times over a possible Wembley spectacular that Usyk was forced to walk away from the farcical negotiations.
Fury did enter talks for a July defence against former WBA, IBF and WBO champ Andy Ruiz Jr but the little Mexican, who stunned AJ in 2019, asked for too much money.
It looks like Fury could end up a pointless spectacle against MMA heavyweight Francis Ngannou, which would make millions but mean nitto.
And the undefeated Morecambe mastermind seems to be getting frustrated by the sorry affair, moaning on Instagram: “Since I have been away from boxing, boxing has gone to a load of s***, absolute s***.
“I have to give everyone in the country something to look forward to, a proper event, because we haven’t had one since I last fought in December.
“I will knock all these mother f***ers out and I am ready to rumble.
“I have not fought since December, through no fault of my own, I have tried to fight that little midget Usyk but he didn’t want anything
“I tried to fight AJ but he didn’t want any smoke.
“I have tried to fight everybody.
“Andy Ruiz has asked for £20million, silly little b*****d, I don’t know where he is getting that from.
“Who is out there, who is available?”

Oleksandr Usyk was ready to agree to a fight with Fury but plans didn’t materialise
If BT Sport and Frank Warren stablemate Joe Joyce had beaten Zhilei Zhang last month, he would have been a front runner for Fury.
But the Putney Juggernaut lost through a gruesome eye injury and has activated the rematch clause, leaving Fury sulking.
He cried: “Zhang would have been a good little fight but Joyce wants the rematch so that’s not happening now.
“So I am looking to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere
“I cannot wait to fight Usyk, AJ, whoever is out there, I am fucking you up, because I am the baddest mother f***** on the planet.”

Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength.

There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does so by using his arms, elbows and hands as well as his knees, knees and legs.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance determines how he defends himself. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
