AJ hinted that a showdown with Fury had been weighing on his mind, saying: “I’m looking to do a good job, to handle business, because I have my eyes set on other things.”
However, the Gypsy King has an extremely stern test of his own against American, Deontay Wilder.
The heavyweight giants have met twice before, firstly resulting in a draw after Fury dramatically rose from the canvas in the final round, before a Fury victory in the second fight cemented one of the best personal comebacks in boxing history.
Although the Gypsy King has had the better of their exchanges so far, Wilder still possesses perilous knockout power which will pose a threat right up until the final bell.
