Tyson Fury last fought in February 2020 against the ex-WBC champ Deontay Wilder. He handed over the Alabama native, his first loss in the most sensational fashion. Right from the first second of the fight, Fury dictated the pace and only moved forward with his shots.
As a result, the ‘Bronze Bomber’ succumbed to a brutal T/KO loss in round 7.
Ever since that win, the ‘Gypsy King’ and his team have been waiting to get their hands on ‘AJ’ for a mammoth undisputed title fight. And with John Fury’s comments, it’s clear that Tyson Fury’s corner is ready for the undisputed title fight.

Is Anthony Joshua a ‘warm-up’ fight for the ‘Gypsy King’?
Anthony Joshua ranks among the most intimidating heavyweights of all time. In his short but storied professional career, ‘AJ’ has cemented himself as an altogether different pugilist in the most dynamic division of boxing. He has danced with some bigwigs of the heavyweight roster inside the ring and has battered all of them to add constant wins to his resume.
That said, he will walk into the Tyson Fury fight with his best skill sets. And Fury might end up in serious problems if he underestimates his countryman.
This fight holds immense responsibilities to shape up the division and the best man on fight night will establish his reign for many more years to come.
