WBC champion, Tyson Fury has said he can’t wait to knock out the unified heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua when they meet in an all-British bout in 2021.
Joshua knocked out his mandatory challenger, Kubrat Pulev, in round nine after a dramatic and entertaining affair that saw the Bulgarian knocked down four times to set up a possible clash with Fury.
Joshua after the fight had indicated that he wanted a fight with Fury but will also entertain other challengers for the belt.
“I’m up for anything. Who wants to see Anthony Joshua box Tyson Fury in 2021? I started this game in 2013 and I’ve been chasing the belts ever since.
“Whoever has got the belt, I would love to compete with them. If that is Tyson Fury then let it be Tyson Fury,” Joshua said after the fight.
Reacting to Joshua, Fury in a response posted a video message on social media stating that he is ready to knock out Joshua in three rounds.
“Well, there you go everyone. Anthony Joshua just s*** himself live on television.
“He got asked if he wants the fight and he went around the bushes and put his a*** in the hedge.
“I want the fight, I want the fight next. I’ll knock him out inside three rounds. He’s a big, bum dosser, I can’t wait to knock him out,” Fury said.
