Like father, like son? That certainly seems to be the case with Tyson Fury’s 14-year-old son, Prince. Over the weekend, the teenager – who is also training to be a boxer like his dad – had some less-than-favorable words for Anthony Joshua after he refused to face off with Tyson.
AJ refused to get in the ring with his fellow boxer over the weekend
To recap, boxer Anthony declined to get into the ring with Tyson over the weekend following his comeback win against Arslanbek Makhmudov. This prompted Tyson’s teenage son, Prince, to goad his dad’s competitor.
“Joshua’s a p*ssy,” the 14-year-old told iFL TV. “He’s a chicken. Simple. He didn’t want to fight.”
“Listen, I could hear it in his voice. He was f*cking shaking,” the youngster continued. “If he don’t want to fight, he don’t want to fight. Me dad don’t care.”
Prince’s harsh words quickly caught up with him, however. His mom, Paris Fury, jumped in to tell him off. “You better behave yourself,” she said.
While Prince’s comments prompted a scolding from his mother, fans in the comment section had a different reaction. “Man, he’s definitely Tyson’s kid,” someone said in response to the YouTube clip. “He even acts like a young Tyson,” agreed another person.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” a third fan commented. “His face, facial impressions and behaviors are almost the same as his dad,” said a fourth social media user.
Tyson has said he will quit boxing if Anthony is not the next person he faces in the ring. But Anthony is currently recovering from a tragic car crash he was in, which claimed the lives of two of his closest friends. Although he has resumed training, the former world heavyweight champion is not due for a comeback until summer.
