Joshua on Usyk and Fury's undisputed fight
Joshua lost the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO heavyweight titles to Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk was engaged in talks for an undisputed title fight with English professional boxer and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
The negotiations for the undisputed heavyweight fight between Usyk and Fury have now been called off.
Joshua in a report by Michael Benson stated that negotiations with Fury always end up messy.
The former unified champion added that he fought Usyk twice and the negotiations went well without difficulties.
He said, "Look at all the s*** they are going through now. It's just crazy.
"It's good that people can actually see the s*** that people have got to put up with to make a fight. Me and Usyk got two successful fights done.
Joshua also went on to state that he will not wait to fight Fury as his career does not depend on it.
He added, "I can't say I'm just going to wait for this geezer. There are other great fights out there I can have.
