I’d beat AJ with one arm

-

TYSON Fury believes a match-up with Anthony Joshua is the only fight people want to see and claimed he would win with “one arm tied behind my back”.

Joshua is not expected to be short of options following his sensationa­l 11th-round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, with a potential rematch with the Ukrainian or a meeting with Deontay Wilder both possibilit­ies.

Joshua himself called out Fury in the wake of his Wembley win, with the ‘Gypsy King’ hitting back yesterday, pledging that he would reclaim two of his old titles by inflicting the first profession­al defeat on the WBA and IBF heavyweigh­t champion.

“Styles do make fights but I am sure I can beat AJ with one arm tied behind my back,” Fury said.

“I don’t even need a warm-up if he wants this.

“I have been out of the ring as long as Klitschko but the difference is, I am not 41, I am 28.

“There’s only one fight out there, the biggest fight in the world and everyone knows that. It is the heavyweigh­ts, it is me and AJ, no one else.

“It is the only one the world wants to see and I am here, I am the lineal champion, I am still number one in the world and everybody knows that.

“We all saw (his career) had a life and death situation against Klitschko but Klitschko couldn’t land a glove on me.”

Fury has not f ought since winning a unanimous decision over Klitschko i n November 2015.
