Tyson Fury: I'll make a fight between me and Joshua a Hagler-Hearns remake at heavyweight!

Has there ever been a heavyweight slugfest where the action was so intense, so fast and relentless that the fight could be compared to the epic middleweight showdown between Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns? Probably the closest we’ve seen to it is the classic Foreman-Lyle war, where, like Marv and Tommy, the two combatants went at in a a real hell for leather manner; caring nothing defence.

Joseph Parker says Anthony Joshua is “The King of Steroids!”

Joseph Parker says Anthony Joshua is “The King of Steroids!”

First of all, it must be pointed out how Joseph Parker has no evidence whatsoever – zero, nada, zilch. And Parker himself stops short of flat-out calling Anthony Joshua a steroid cheat.
