Tyson Fury: Anthony Joshua is ‘tailor-made’ for me
Written by News on 14/12/2020
Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua is ‘tailor-made’ for an early knockout defeat and is ‘optimistic’ that a fight can be agreed.
Joshua defended his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles with a brutal ninth-round stoppage of Kubrat Pulev at The SSE Arena in Wembley on Saturday.
But WBC champion Fury was far from intimidated by his British rival’s performance.
“I’m not just saying it because he’s going to be a rival of mine, he’s going to be one of my opponents,” Fury told Good Morning Britain.
“I’ve always said for a long time that I do believe that Anthony Joshua is tailor-made for someone like my style. I think it’s going to be one of the most explosive, quickest fights you are going to see. I’m aiming to take him out inside four rounds.”
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn insisted that he would resume negotiations ‘straight away’ and Fury is hopeful that terms can soon be agreed.
“We’ll see what’s going to go on,” said Fury. “Let’s hope this fight happens. I’m willing to take the fight. I don’t know whether they are. I’ve been willing to take the fight for the last five years.
“It’s not happened so far, but I’m very optimistic it will happen in 2021.”
