WATCH: Tyson Fury pays Anthony Joshua a bizarre compliment about his manhood (NSFW)

Kevin McGillicuddy

Tyson Fury appears to be having a Charlie Sheen style meltdown.

The World heavyweight champion is well out of shape ahead of his re-match with Wladimir Klitschko this summer, and on Wednesday launched a bizarre broadside at boxing, as well as his opponent.

It was typical trash-talking from the Manchester giant, until he grabbed as his rolls of man-fat and proclaimed himself happy to fatter than his opponent.

Fury and his backroom team already appear to have one eye on a fight beyond the Wladimir Klitschko  rematch on July 9, with Anthony Joshua likely to step into the ring with Fury later this year or in early 2017.

The heavyweight has called out the IBF champion several times over the last few weeks, but speaking to iFl  he paid his rival a bizarre compliment, proclaiming himself to be jealous of Joshua’s manhood.

In the course of the interview Fury also told the reporters that Joshua is being used by promoters, just like him.

“It’s not up to Joshua. He gets told what to do by his promoter. He’s not the brains of Britain.

“He’s a dumb fighter, going in the ring, punching some other bums out. He’s a piece of meat, being used, like me.”
