WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is not planning to box Anthony Joshua – the ‘Gypsy King’ is vowing to come forward and make it physical fight from the first round.
Their handlers are in serious negotiations to finalize a two-fight series in 2021.
The first contest would land on a date in May or June. The event’s location will be determined once the agreement is finalized.
Fury has been out of the ring since February 2020, when he stopped Deontay Wilder in seven rounds to capture the WBC title.
Joshua saw action in December, when he retained his IBF, WBO, IBO, WBA titles with a knockout of mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in nine rounds.
According to Fury, he has the edge in every department when it comes to Joshua. He doesn’t give the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner any possibility of victory.
“I’ve got a bigger heart, tougher, mentally and physically stronger. I punch harder, everything’s in my favor. When I take it to them, they can’t deal with it. It’s like wrestling a T-Rex. They can’t win. I’m indestructible,” Fury told boxing scribe Gareth Davies.
“I can’t be beaten, if I’m injury-free and active there is no losing.”
And just like he did with Wilder, the unbeaten is boxer is not looking to box from a distance.
Fury wants to use the same strategy that he applied against Wilder. In that contest, Fury came out swinging from the start, wore the puncher down, and then put him away in the seventh round when Wilder’s corner had seen enough and threw in the towel.
“[I’ll fight Joshua] just like I did with Wilder. They said he said he was going to box and move, what did I do? Straight at him, bombs all the way through until he got stopped,” Fury said.
