Former two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has sent a chilling warning to Anthony Joshua, after footage emerged of the Brit training with his old rival Oleksandr Usyk.
“If it’s a fight to be made, let’s get it done. Let me get Makhmudov out of the way, and we’re on,” Fury called out.
"The Gypsy King" will return to the ring for the first time in 16 months against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.
The 37-year-old Morecombe man maintained, “[It’s] good to see the guy back in training camp. He’s had a bit of a tough time lately, so I’ll just give him space.
“Whatever he wants to do, he can do. [But I’ve] always been the same: Anyone can get it. I hope [Usyk] is in the corner.
“[But] it won’t help him at all. I punched the head off Usyk, and I’ll punch the head off ‘AJ’ as well. I’ll bring Lennox [Lewis] in my corner.”
