Joshua welcomes Tyson Fury's knockout claim

Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has welcomed Tyson Fury's claim he will beat Joshua "inside three rounds" and says he feels Fury will bring out the best in him.

Joshua, knocked out Kubrat Pulev in round nine yesterday to increase hope he could fight Fury next.

In the instant aftermath, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said work would start to finalise a bout with Fury.

WBC world heavyweight champion Fury has been installed as an odds-on favourite to beat IBF, WBA and WBO belt holder Joshua if they fight next in a bout which would see all four heavyweight titles contested for the first time.
