Tyson Fury offers £1million bet on Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua fight

Tyson Fury is willing to place a £1million bet on former rival Deontay Wilder knocking out Anthony Joshua if the pair touch gloves.

The 'Gypsy King' looked set to meet Joshua in a mega-fight this month having offered his long-term rival a shot at his WBC heavyweight crown, but the bout was shelved after 'AJ' missed the deadline. Joshua will instead look to pursue a number of options to regain his status in the division next year, which could see him take on leading WBC contender Wilder.

The 'Bronze Bomber' contemplated retirement following a second consecutive loss to Fury last year but has since returned with a win by brutally knocking out Robert Helenius. And Fury has admitted a potential showdown between the American and Joshua would be a great spectacle for fans.
