Tyson Fury says he is willing to set a blockbuster fight Anthony Joshua to one side, when the former heavyweight winner is not able to recover his belts in a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr..
Fury is currently hoping to create light work of Otto Wallin on Saturday and pave the way for his world heavyweight rematch using Deontay Wilder, but is already thinking past that to a unification bout.
Fury is well prepared to confront either fighter, although Joshua is confident of getting revenge when the pair meet in Saudi Arabia on December 7, now live on Sky Sports Box Office after suffering his first defeat at the hands of Ruiz Jr at June.
“If he (Anthony Joshua) moves in there and gets hauled back outside by Ruiz, then fair play to Ruiz. Who cares anyway? You know, I fight Ruiz, does not matter. One hundred per cent.
“I am not worried because whatever happens in life happens and we can not change it anyhow. Thus, with each negative, there is a positive.”
Discussing about this weekend’s rival Wallin, Fury included:”it is a different challenge, different opponent, different style and fashions do create struggles.
“This guy’s 6’6”, left handed southpaw. It’s likely going to be a different challenge. Every fight is different, not all fights, 1 struggle, is the same.
“We approach every fight (using a) distinct game plan, but if we’re in there for the first moment or so, I will know precisely what to do with Otto Wallin.”
Wallin will be really hoping to spring a surprise outcome and is looking to Ruiz for inspiration.
“Just look at the other conflicts such as Andy Ruiz-Joshua. Mike Tyson, he was not supposed to get beat. He got defeat from Buster Douglas.
“We experienced a Swedish guy, Ingemar Johansson, sixty years back he came over to New York and beat Floyd Patterson. He had been a huge underdog and he overcome him. It may happen at any moment. So tune in and don’t blink.”
Saturday morning at 2am, live on Sky Sports Action – Devin Haney vs Zaur Abdullaev, Heather Hardy vs Amanda Serrano, Michael Hunter vs Sergey Kuzmin.
