Tyson Fury punches Deontay Wilder during their heavyweight bout for Wilder’s WBC crown in February. As boxing fans began to salivate over the prospect of an Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury boxing showdown, Fury has lashed out at Joshua and promised to knock him out “in three rounds”. Fury, seldom short of a word or an opportunity to promote his clothing range, unleashed a tirade against Joshua, who knocked out challenger Kubrat Pulev, of Bulgaria, in the ninth round on Saturday night (Sunday NZT) at Wembley Arena. Joshua was initially reluctant to mention a fight against Fury for the undisputed heavyweight crown in his post-bout interview, asking instead for the crowd for their opinion. Under further questioning on Sky Sport UK, he said “Whoever has the belt I would love to compete with them. If that is Tyson Fury, let it be Tyson Fury.’’
