Joshua says he is getting ready for 'combat and war'

Anthony Joshua appears to have sent a hostile message to Tyson Fury by insisting he will not be "civilised" as he prepares for "combat and war" in their world title fight.

Joshua is expected to face Fury in an undisputed world title fight this year, with the British rivals currently finalising terms for a blockbuster battle that will decide the sport's No.1 heavyweight.

He says the job he has chosen is for the uncivilised and this is a is a sport of combat and war.

Fury ruthlessly stopped Wilder last February to claim the WBC belt, while Joshua inflicted an explosive knockout on Kubrat Pulev in December, and the WBA, IBF, and WBO champion is readying himself for a brutal showdown.
