Boxing fans wants to see Tyson Fury fight Anthony Joshua next, following his dominant win against Deontay Wilder.
‘The Gypsy King’ has ended Wilder’s five-year reign as the WBC heavyweight champion after scoring a masterful seventh-round technical knockout victory in their highly-anticipated rematch in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
With the win, Fury remains undefeated in 31 fights while the American knockout artist suffered his first loss in 44 professional bouts.
It was a redemption for the British fighter who almost defeated Wilder in their first meeting way back December 2018 that ended in a controversial split draw.
“He came here tonight and he manned up,” the newly-crowned WBC heavyweight champ said of his rival.
“And he really did show the heart of a champion. I hit him with a clean right that dropped him, and he got back up.”
“He is a warrior. He will be back. He will be a champion again. But I will say, the king has returned to the top of the throne!”
Now, fans are confident Fury will prevail over Anthony Joshua in a potential unification bout.
Anthony Joshua lost to a midget Mexican Fury but you want to believe he can beat the actual 6ft9 Tyson Fury? Don’t make me laugh

Joshua gotta beat somebody noteworthy before I’ll watch him get his ass beat by Fury.

Joshua is fundamentally a better boxer then Wilder and he is naturally bigger and stronger man. I think he will give Fury a better fight. Still Gypsy King is a massive favorite to beat AJ.

Fury will beat AJ, the only other man to do as he says he will in boxing is Mayweather. Fury is about this work!

Finally, Fury getting the credit that he truly deserves as the best HW of this era. Beat both Klitschko and Wilder (twice) in their backyard, will easily beat AJ and Ruiz with one hand tied behind his back. There's nothing the Gypsy King can't do! #YaBigDosser

After Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in the 7th round, just like he had promised, now we want Fury vs Anthony Joshua. AJ would hardly survive 6 rounds against the Gyspy King. pic.twitter.com/qNYEf4FU3p
