Anthony Joshua lacked 'the desire and will' to beat Oleksandr Usyk claims John Fury, as father of world champion Tyson insists Brit has never been capable of beating his son or Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua's 'will and desire' to be a world heavyweight champion has been called into question by the father of his main rival.

The Brit lost his titles in September at Tottenham Hotspur stadium when he lost a unanimous points decision to Oleksandr Usyk.

The defeat deralied his attempts to secure a unification bout with Tyson Fury - who held up his part of the bargain by beating Deontay Wilder in the States earlier this month.
