Tyson Fury: I’ll beat Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder even though I’m 25 STONE

Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko two years ago to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles, shocking the legendary Ukrainian on points in Dusseldorf.

But he has since vacated the belts citing problems with depression and cocaine use.

Fury has repeatedly threatened to retire on social media but now claims to be back in training and gunning for a shot at the title again.

And today, the unbeaten 29-year-old has claimed that he doesn’t even need to lose weight to beat two of the world’s very best.

“I reckon I can beat Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder now even at 25 stone & after being out almost 2 years!” Fury said on Twitter.

“My style is unbeatable.

“Ask Wlad[imir Klitschko].

“My fight with Joshua will be won with my feet!

“Can’t hit what you can’t see!

“The best footwork in the game.

“I’m gonna stop you Anthony Joshua inside 8 rounds watch me go.

“Let’s make it [sic] Britons biggest fight ever, I say we get Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno involved in the #furyvsAJfight.”

And Joshua has already said this week that he’d happily get in the ring with Fury and that promoter Eddie Hearn is doing everything to facilitate the bout.

“It’s Anthony Joshua versus the world right now, I have got to fight them all,” Joshua told Sky Sports.

“Eddie is right, as a promoter it works well for him, it works well for me and I think it works well for people who want to watch me and Fury get it on.

“I wish him the best of luck with what he’s going through because we need to see him back in the ring.

“Eddie has been on the phone to Tyson, trying to make things happen and support his cause.”
