Tyson Fury questions Anthony Joshua's punch resistance and Daniel Dubois' power - while promising fight news soon

Tyson Fury has mocked Anthony Joshua for the knockout loss he suffered at the hands of Daniel Dubois.

On Saturday Dubois subjected Fabio Wardley to a ferocious barrage of power-punching, which saw the Ipswich man eventually overwhelmed and stopped on his feet in the 11th round of their WBO heavyweight title clash in Manchester.

The fight drew plaudits for its drama, Wardley's dogged resilience and Dubois' heavy-handed attacks.

However Fury, a former two-time world champion who's already held every major belt in his division, had a different interpretation.

"I've just been sat here thinking after Dubois' unbelievable fight last night," Fury said on social media.

"Dubois fought 'Big Baby' Miller, stopped him but never put him down. Then he fought [Filip] Hrgovic, stopped him but never put him down. He fought Wardley last night, in an unbelievable fight, stopped him but never put him down. He hit [Oleksandr] Usyk with some big bombs, never put him over," Fury said.

"Yet he fights Anthony Joshua and pummels him, puts him to the floor [four] times. I'm not saying Anthony Joshua's chinless but there are the facts. Take it as you wish and as you will.

"Everybody else never went over, not a singular person, 'Big Baby' Miller, Hrgovic, Usyk or Wardley but Joshua goes down [four] times… Chinny!"

Fury is expected to fight Joshua in November of this year, although the date and venue are yet to be confirmed. Fury could box in another warm up bout before that as well.

In a post on his Instagram account Fury promised fight news was coming soon, saying: "I've got some unbelievable, exciting news coming, stay tuned, about being in a ring."
