Joshua: "I'll fight Fury with a year"

  • Anthony Joshua says a fight with Tyson Fury will happen "sooner or later",

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Anthony Joshua, IBF World Heavyweight champion

    (Q: Dominic Breazeale is 13th in the IBF rankings, this is going to be a cake walk for you isn't it?)

    "I don't even know where I was in the rankings, so I got called out (by Charles Martin), I wasn't a mandatory challenger and I managed to win. So sometimes you've got to take yourself away from what's on paper and look what's in front of you. I am dealing with a guy, as I said, who is very equal to me, he became the best in his country, he got to represent (them) in the Olympics. He's a big unit, he's 18 stone and what happens if he goes and beats me then and people believe it was a walk in the park. So you have to just sometimes take yourself from what's put on paper and look at what's really going on. And when I look at Dominic Breazeale I think we are very equal and I need to be on my A-game and I take this training camp very seriously."

    (Q: The boxing public, in Britain in particular, want to see you fight Tyson Fury, do you think it will happen in the next year?)

    "I don't know when. I am not going to say 'yeah, yeah' and a year later I'm backtracking my words. But you ask can it happen, I say 110 per cent, why not? We are in the same era, we've both got what we set out to achieve and I feel that it has to happen, because it's the time we're in. Mohammed Ali fought Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis, you know, me and Tyson Fury have to fight. It's just the way the world works in my industry. So yeah we'll have the fight sooner or later."
