Joshua knocked the former UFC champion out in the second round to propel himself into an undisputed clash with the winner of Fury's meeting with Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury has responded to Anthony Joshua's devastating second round knockout of Francis Ngannou, saying that he will be up for finally facing his long-time rival if he can take care of business elsewhere.
However, the 35-year-old insists he still has the beating of Joshua, who he hopes to share the ring with if he can come through Usyk. The Manchester-born boxer also questioned promoter Eddie Hearn's claim that his man Joshua is now the number one heavyweight on the planet. "I'm sure that Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say about that given he beat him twice," Fury commented.
"I think there's quite a long way to go, in the last five years there's always been some s*** that get in the way of it. I've got bigger fish to fry on May 18 and then we've got a rematch in October. I'm still dismissive of him, styles make fights and my style for him is kryptonite. I've always said AJ is built to measure for me, just because he knocked out that guy with a right hand it's not the same.
The 37 year old, who had previously performed well in a close loss on points to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, started off strong again in Riyadh, holding his own for much of the first round.
