When asked for his opinion on the fight, Fury told Behind The Gloves: “Fair play to AJ, he outboxed a fella who knocked him out before.

“It takes a lot of guts and boxing ability to do that. I thought he looked fantastic.

“I’ve heard the criticism by the fans and everybody, but this game is about winning.

“I don’t care if you win by an inch or a mile, by a knockout or by one point.

“I’d rather win and stink the place out than lose in a very entertaining fight.

“So fair play to Joshua for doing that, congratulations.”

The only heavyweight belt not owned by AJ is Deontay Wilder’s WBC title, for which Fury will challenging once again in 2020.

He concluded: “Let’s face it, I like to always talk real, no-one’s really interested in Ruiz and Joshua.

“They’re just two other heavyweights on a collision course. The real fight is me and Wilder.

“This is the biggest heavyweight fight of my lifetime anyway and there won’t be a bigger one any time soon.”
