John Fury: "If AJ wants Tyson, let him beat Wilder first"

British boxing fans have been waiting for many years for a heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs). However, the father of the "Gypsy King" John Fury claims that in order for AJ to get into the ring with his son, he must first fight in an informal "eliminator" with Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs).

“The only way for the Fury-Joshua fight to happen is for Joshua to beat Wilder,” said “Big John.” — Everyone ignores Wilder, no one wants to fight him. I hate him as a person, but every boxer on the planet fears him, except the Gypsy King, who beat him twice.”

It is possible that during the November WBC convention, of which Fury is the champion, a final qualifying match will be officially scheduled with the participation of Joshua and Wilder. However, it is unknown whether the teams of the boxers themselves will be interested in such a fight.
