“One problem… I’ve just got to smash Deontay Wilder’s face right in in the next fight and then we go into the Joshua fight next year,” Fury, 31, continued.
“So there we are! The Gypsy King vs. AJ is on for next year But there is a hurdle in the road called The Bronze Bomber, AKA the knockout king
“And I will get onto him and knock him spark out and then we will get onto the big fight.”
