During a recent training session, preparing for his upcoming April 11 clash with Arslanbek Makhmudov, heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury posted a controversial video on social media. Standing alongside fellow fighter Joseph Parker, Fury aimed sharp criticism at rivals Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, infamously referring to them as “two f***ing sausages, fruits.” Beyond these verbal jabs, the video also featured a particular jest, widely dubbed the ‘Pablo J’ joke, which ignited significant criticism and concern within the boxing community. Observers were quick to point out the poor timing and insensitivity of the remark, especially given Joseph Parker’s ongoing legal issues stemming from a pending cocaine case. Fury’s choice of humor in this context has led to considerable backlash and ‘raised eyebrows’ across the sport.
