Tyson Fury Plans To Take Anthony Joshua ‘Clean Out’ In Six Or Seven Rounds In Potential Fight
Tyson Fury has been vocal in wanting to fight Anthony Joshua next time out and is confident if the fight happens he would stop the Brit early.
Joshua is coming off back-to-back decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk and has said he will return in December and Fury has said he wants to be his opponent. Even though Joshua has lost two in a row, it still would be a massive fight but one sticking point is the pay as some, like Tony Bellew has said it should be a 50-50 split which Fury says isn’t the case.
“Bellew is a fanboy for AJ, isn’t he? He’s on AJ’s hoo-ha. I’m not even going to say it on the radio where he’s sitting, he’s quite high up on AJ’s hoo-ha. So, let’s say why is the best fighter in the world – which he knows is me – calling out AJ?,” Fury told Talk Sport. “I’ll tell you why, Bellew, it’s because the other guy little guy who just beat your bodybuilding mate, Usyk, doesn’t want no smoke with the Gypsy King. He’s come out and said that publicly, ‘I do not want to fight Tyson until next year’. Bellew’s saying, ‘Oh, people like Anthony Joshua sell out tickets’. Who does he think he’s talking to? I’ve got the highest attending crowd in the history of the UK – 94,000, on my own! However, AJ and his mate, Eddie Hearn, are both happy with the 40 percent.”
If the fight does come to fruition, Tyson Fury is not only confident he would win but believes he would finish Joshua in six or seven rounds.
“To be honest with you, the two big, giant heavyweights in the ring, anything can happen at any given moment when you’ve got two men as big as we are swinging at each other,” Fury said. “However, I’ve always said what happens when I fight Joshua, he gets cleaned out. I say within six, seven rounds – if he lasts that long.”
