The reigning lineal RING magazine world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury (25-0) has fired another shot at his long-time rival, IBF, IBO and WBA (Super) world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua (20-0).
Fury was in Canada supporting one of his closest friends, Billy Joe Saunders who was preparing for his third title defence against David Lemieux. Tyson Fury even did the commentary for the main event on BT Sport.
It's the fight everyone wants to see…
But it's not the only fight on @tyson_fury's mind at the moment.

Tyson Fury caught up with the boxing media following the fight and was pressed to deliver his opinion on Joshua and if he has progressed as a fighter this year.

It is safe to say Fury still remains largely unimpressed, he offered his opinion by saying “Still the same, bit heavier, few more muscles on him, that’s it really. The man can’t box, he’s not a boxer. He’s a brawler.”
“When he gets in there with someone who can box and move, he’ll get beat, simple as that.
When I say these things, I don’t just say it because I don’t like somebody or whatever, I say it because I know the truth.”
“The truth of the matter is he’ll get his head punched in by anyone who can box and move a little bit, simple as.”
Quizzed whether Joshua can improve on his flaws and become a more well-rounded fighter. Fury dismissed those suggestions claiming he has been built for a totally different style of fighting.
‘The Gypsy King’ added: “No, because you can never turn a carthorse into a racehorse. He ain’t built for movement and speed. He’s built for power.”
“You can’t make a power man a speed man. Without speed and movement in heavyweight boxing, you’re a limited fighter. You’re not going to blast through everybody, like we saw with (Carlos) Takam, at 12 days’ notice,” Fury concluded, on a final note.
⚡️ @Tyson_Fury is ready to return to boxing, and you're all buzzing for it 🙌https://t.co/N9rhyNSckY
