The boxing world is in for a treat in 2021 with a massive Heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury seemingly agreed. However, the catch is that both pugilists must be successful in their title defenses this year. Tyson Fury’s father, however, is supremely confident and even predicted what will happen to ‘AJ’ in 2021. Furthermore, he challenged promoter Eddie Hearn to a wager.

John Fury hypes Tyson Fury as the best Heavyweight of this era

Whilst appearing on BT Sport’s What Went Down, John Fury was asked to provide the first 30 seconds commentary of the super fight.

He obliged, “First 30 seconds of commentary? Napper boxed right off and stung with disastrous right hands and left hooks. Listen, you’ll think he’s fighting an eel in cold water. He won’t even touch Tyson. Tyson will box his head off.”

Fury Sr said the ‘AJ’ match will be easier than the upcoming trilogy fight against ‘The Bronze Bomber.’

“Listen, it’ll be an easier night than Deontay Wilder. And I’ll take all bets again. First-round, Tyson will come out jabbing, missing, make him slip and slide…BANG”

“And Joshua feeling the pieces of the first right hand. Cause he’ll know then I can’t beat this man. All them fighters know. They. Can’t Beat. Tyson. Because I’ll tell you why. The man’s not been born yet, I’ve watched them all. This crop of Heavyweights, this era can’t beat him. They can’t, they haven’t got it, he’s not been born yet.”

He claims that ‘The Gypsy King’ has proven himself. Fury is yet to lose a professional match in his 31-fight career. 

“Not just saying coz he’s me son, he’s proved himself and Tyson’s a modest guy. I’m not modest. I’m telling it as I see it.  They’re all terrified of Tyson.”

“Nobody can beat this man. The Gypsy King will reign forever. He’ll reign for the next 10 year. Cause I tell you what it is now. There’s a superman to be born that going to come close to him. And I ain’t seen him yet.”

Finally, he challenged Eddie Hearn to a wager that serves to highlight his confidence. 

“Let’s get the Joshua fight on. I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll put him and his dad in the dole queue, I’ll put him in the dole queue. And I’ll bet him everything I’ve got, let’s have a winner take all let’s see if they do that. He said Joshua can do that, winner take all. Tyson will go for it, and he’ll be in the dole queue. That’ll be the end of Hearn’s big mouth.”
