Tyson Fury and Joseph Parker Record Video Addressing Usyk and Joshua

In a captivating event in the world of professional boxing, former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, known as the 'Gypsy King,' has released a creative video addressing two boxing stars, Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, as he prepares for his upcoming fight against Russian boxer Arslanbek Mahmoudov.

In the world of professional boxing, an intriguing event has unfolded: former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, renowned as the 'Gypsy King,' has created a creative video in which he addresses two boxing stars—Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. This video was produced as part of Fury's preparations for his upcoming bout against Russian boxer Arslanbek Mahmoudov, scheduled for April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

In the video, Tyson Fury and his friend, New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker, jokingly commented on the training routines of Usyk and Joshua, who, according to Fury, have 'joined forces' in their preparation. 'You have Usyk and Joshua, who have united, two sausages, fruits, training together in masks. Then there’s me and my friend here, two of the best drinkers, party lovers in this game. There’s no one better than us,' Fury declared, emphasizing his confidence in himself and his team.

This light-hearted approach to the serious topic of fight preparation showcases Fury's character, who has always managed to blend humor with professionalism. The fight between Fury and Mahmoudov has generated significant interest among boxing fans, as both fighters possess powerful boxing skills and ambitions. Tyson Fury, known for his unique fighting style, is hoping for victory to continue his career at the pinnacle of boxing.

It is worth noting that Joseph Parker, who also appeared in the video, recently found himself in an unfortunate situation—last November, he tested positive for a banned substance and is currently suspended from boxing. This incident has been a significant blow to his career, but he continues to support his friends in the boxing world, including Tyson Fury.

Regarding Oleksandr Usyk, his next fight is scheduled for May 23, when he will face kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven. The bout will take place in Giza, Egypt, with the WBC title on the line. Usyk, who is the heavyweight champion of the world, continues to prove his prowess in the ring, and this fight promises to be exciting.

Anthony Joshua, who recently returned to boxing after a hiatus, fought his last match in December 2025, where he secured a victory against blogger Jake Paul by knockout in the sixth round. However, Joshua took a break following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his trainers. This incident was a heavy blow for the boxer, but he continues to maintain ties with Ukrainian champion Usyk.

Recently, Joshua visited Ukraine at Usyk's invitation, where he familiarized himself with the culture and landmarks of Kyiv. During his visit, Anthony paid his respects at the memorial for fallen defenders of Ukraine, honoring the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the full-scale invasion by Russia. This gesture demonstrated his respect for the Ukrainian people and their struggle.

Additionally, Joshua, alongside Usyk, attended the Rising Stars boxing evening by Usyk 17 Promotions, where they had the opportunity to discuss future plans and share insights about boxing. Following this, Joshua expressed his impressions of his visit to Ukraine, reaching out to the Ukrainian people with messages of support and solidarity.
