During his post-fight interview on DAZN, Joshua asked: “Have we got Tyson Fury in the room actually? To more important matters, is he here or not?”

Then, channelling his inner Mike Tyson, he issued this threat: “I’m gonna rip his heart out, I’m the meanest and most vicious champion there’s ever been. Nobody can stop me.”

Joshua added: “All jokes aside. There are two sides to this thing; one is as a fighter, you have to have that [aggressive side], but you have to have that respect. I respect everything he has done, and everything he has achieved, but as a fighter, and as someone who has been calling for this fight for a long time, we’re here now.”
