TYSON FURY has ripped into Anthony Joshua and claimed his heavyweight rival turned down the chance to fight SIX times.
And the Gypsy King has also declared he remains happy being retired after he called time on his glistening career in April following his win over Dillian Whyte.
Fury’s dad John recently praised Joshua for his spirit and his willingness to face any boxer.
But the WBC king has contradicted those claims as he insisted the 2012 Olympic gold medallist has ducked a dust-up with him on multiple occasions due to AJ being a “diva”.
In an explosive interview with iFL TV, the 33-year-old said: “Tried to make that fight six times at least and unsuccessful every time because you’re messing with a diva.
“Prima donna, little sucker b****, who don’t want to fight.

“He couldn’t beat me if he had a baseball bat while I was sleeping.”
Fury then went on to state how he has no plans to step back inside the ring.
It was suggested earlier this month that he could face the winner out of Joshua’s rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed match-up.
But the unbeaten Mancunian quickly shut down those rumours as he denied he is in talks about a return.

His fans have begged the Manchester United fan to have one more bout before walking away for good.
However Fury has once again reiterated his desire to keep away from the sport in an X-rated rant.
He remarked: “I’m all out of getting punched in the face for a few quid.
“Got plenty of money, still got my faculties and brains about me.
“Six kids and a wife to look after. So if anyone wants to criticise me for that, they can go suck my balls basically.”
