Tyson Fury believes Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk are his two biggest threats in the heavyweight division and claims Anthony Joshua is a big bum who eats right hands for fun.
Fury is aiming for a rematch against Wilder after their split decision draw last December but must come through his next fight against Swedens Otto Wallin next Saturday.
The 31-year-old was knocked down twice by Wilder during their fight in Los Angeles last year but he admits the Bronze Bomber would still be his toughest opponent.
And when asked to name his biggest threat, Fury told ESPN: Probably Wilder, Ive already fought him, I already beat him once.
So thats the biggest challenge that they have, I dont see anybody else being much of a challenge, to be honest.

Maybe Oleksandr Usyk, hes an awkward-looking guy, southpaw, a unified [cruiserweight] world champion, an undefeated world champion. So maybe he can be next, toughest challenge.
When asked what he thought of Joshua, Fury replied: Just a big bum. He eats right hands for fun.
Fury also refused to rate Andy Ruiz Jr: Just an average boxer.
Hand speed doesnt just cut it. Theres a lot of heavyweights who have hand speed.
