Tyson Fury feels Anthony Joshua is ‘tailor-made’ for him as an opposition heavyweight.

Joshua has now said: “New information has surfaced to say that we had a big interest in competing for that title. That’s the only way to get better, right? You have a tough night, you go back again, and you improve whether you win or lose.”

Both men have repeatedly talked up the encounter, which is tipped to become the showpiece boxing event of 2021.
