Fury on Joshua: I'll rid the heavyweight division of a fraud
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has sent a warning to Anthony Joshua, saying he will "rid the heavyweight division of a fraud."
Joshua, who defeated Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley on April 29, is the WBA (super), IBF and IBO champion – three belts Fury held when he defeated Klitschko in 2015.
An all-British heavyweight fight between Joshua and Fury is rumoured to be on the cards, with Joshua publicly calling out the former champion.
Fury, speaking to BBC Boxing’s Steve Bunce, said: "I’m telling everyone now, from the bottom of my heart, I can play with that bodybuilder. No problem."
