Fury calls out Wilder and Joshua

London : British professional boxer Tyson Fury wants to fight Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua to become the dominant heavyweight of his era.

Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko two years ago to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles but has not fought since.

He recently suggested he could beat Joshua and Wilder without even needing to get back into fighting shape.

And ahead of Wilder’s fight with Bermane Stiverne tonight, Tyson Fury is still pushing for the unbeaten knockout artist to step into the ring with him.

“I promised [Wilder] a fight in Sheffield - before I jumped in the ring in New York we were at a small show in Sheffield,” Fury told Sky Sports.

“[British heavyweight] Richards Towers was there with Wilder. I was in the crowd and thought: ‘I’ll build this fight now, five years before it happens’.

“I got on the microphone and said: “There’s a guy in here now who will be the next heavyweight champion’.

“I got everyone to give him a big scream, and it kicked off from there. We’ve had a lot of back-and-forth. He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him. That’s boxing.

“But there’s only one way to settle it, and that’s to get in the ring and have a fight about it. May the best man win. There’s no frills or spills, it’s not rocket science.”

Fury also has Joshua in his sights with the latter recently taking his record to 20-0 after stopping Carlos Takam. And Fury believes if he can beat Joshua and Wilder he will be in a league of his own.

“There are only a couple of men that stand between me and everlasting glory,” Fury said. 

“If I beat AJ and Wilder that means I’m the dominant heavyweight of my era.
