Fury added, “When they did the interview, the public heard that he wanted to fight me and he avoided the question, which was a bit disappointing as it’s been building up over the years.

“He avoided the question like he didn’t want the fight, so I had to get straight on social media and make everyone know I’m willing to take the fight.” This also explains his video on Twitter.

Fury then gave an update on the potential undisputed fight happening. He said, “Grow a pair and sign the contract, big boy! I’m aiming to take him out inside four rounds.

“I said it about Deontay Wilder, not many people listened… Anthony’s standing in my way of total supremacy in my era. He’s the only one left I haven’t beaten. Immortality awaits – I’m one win away from it.”

Clearly, he is confident of beating his compatriot, and his time out of the ring doesn’t seem to bother him. So these comments do mean that we are one step closer to seeing two of the best heavyweights enter the ring.

Now it will be up to the promoters to agree on a deal for the fighters. Who do you think comes out on top in this fight?
