The Gypsy King’s next fight could be against Anthony Joshua with promoters keen to agree 50-50 split of the money
As Dorothy Parker almost said: “If all the British heavyweights in history were laid out end to end, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.” And they laughed when Tyson Fury said he was going to destroy Deontay Wilder. They’re not laughing now – as Bob Monkhouse almost said.
In less than 20 minutes in front of a stunned audience at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Fury not only confirmed the dark days for British heavyweights are ancient fistic history but he moved alongside Lennox Lewis in the domestic pecking order and, more pertinently, edged ahead of Anthony Joshua.
