Anthony Joshua has been chastised by Tyson Fury for wanting to face Deontay Wilder on the undercard of his bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King is prepared to meet former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou in a highly anticipated crossover fight this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Fury has also agreed to fight Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight world title in the Middle East later this year.
With both fights taking place in Saudi Arabia, there has been considerable talk that Joshua’s fight with Wilder may also take place in Saudi, with Joshua even saying that it may be part of the Fury Usyk undercard.
Fury, on the other hand, has dismissed the reports and called Joshua a “embarrassment” for “begging” to be on the card.
‘When you have a former heavyweight world champion pleading for a fight, begging to be on the undercard, it’s rather embarrassing.’ Fury stated to IFLTV.
‘Is he a child or something? He wants to play on my bench? Wilder vs. Him? Who will be the biggest loser? ‘Go find your own show.’
Fury and Osyk are scheduled to fight in December, though no official date has been set.
