Fury's statement after a deal with Joshua in 2010, is simply sensational.

Joshua's victory over Cubrat Pulev on Saturday has only intensified calls for the British to face Fury in 2021, but the pair had already boxed with each other in 2010.

On the way back from the gym, Fury was 22-year-old and professional. BBC Radio London was able to explain what happened at his training company with Joshua, who was 20 years old and amateur.

Now that the rivalry between Joshua and Fury has reached a different level, the correspondent of í BBC Sports, Mike Castello described Fury's words a decade earlier, the Periscope broadcast.

That's what Fury said about Joshua:

” I was just atFinchley Boxing Club and I ran into ABA champion Anthony Joshua. He's hot, very good.

To be honest, I thought it would be easy because he's just amateur and probably wouldn't fight me again if I got nervous.

He rushed me, he launched a hit or two with the left, hit me with a straight aperkat in my beard.

If I had a weak beard like David Price, I'd be gone for a month. He's very, very, very good and still very young.

Remember this name, Anthony Joshua, is a prospect for the future. I'm a good perspective, I think of myself as one of the world's heavy-weight boxers, and he jumped on me for three rounds and beat me.

I won't deny it. I thought an amateur was killing me.

I slowed down with a few hits on my body. The boy is only 20. I'm very good, so he donates a good show like that against a ball of perspective like me, I think it's one for the future.

But training isn't real war, and boxing with a mask on your head isn't a professional boxing. ” /Periscope. com/
