Top rivals Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua rank among the elite heavyweights of this era. Both the men share a tremendous rivalry and their rift has only increased with time. The two men were also on the brink of confronting each other for the undisputed heavyweight title in 2021, but this collision fell through.

Despite that, the boxing purists and enthusiasts are still weighing on this iconic matchup. Recently, Derek Chisora picked Anthony Joshua to hammer ‘The Gypsy King’. Citing Chisora’s comments, Fury came up with an opinion.

The WBC heavyweight champion said, “This is a message for Derek Chisora. I just seen that yes that you think ‘AJ’ would blast me out. Never in a million years. Have the biggest puncher in history can’t blast me out. Wladimir Klitschko can’t blast me out. A big old bodybuilder can’t blast me out, my friend.”
