    It's sort of a subdued Tyson Fury compared to expectations.

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua says he doesn't know if he can trust Tyson Fury.

    I'd quite like to see them down the local together.

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "GK is number one and you don't own anything. I'm the boss. I would have a beer with Eddie right now. The man is a good promoter and manager but I don't like his crying.

    "Have I ever been rude to Eddie? I would go for a beer with you today. Same for you AJ. I hope we can have a pint of Guinness together after this fight."

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "You've been crying behind the scenes to get out of this fight. I've checkmated you. You have to fight. I've said I'll fight anywhere. I've actually never won a world title here.

    "Now it's on the line, we can become a three-time."

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua says he got a call the other night to ask whether Tyson Fury's name could go first.

    Safe to say Fury doesn't agree.

  8. 'Eddie Hearn is a sausage'published at 18:46 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "In the build-up to this fight, Eddie and AJ were talking about being the landlord and the boss, the governors. I only see one don, Fury v AJ. I'm number one, son. I don't make a big thing about all that but considering you have and when I work out and see Fury v his opponent.

    "I don't take it personally. Eddie Hearn is a sausage."

    Fury v Joshua

    Have to say that both are being rather respectful of each other at the moment...

  10. Postpublished at 18:44 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua on if he can take a punch: "People have their views and it's respected. What it is with me, I can only listen to myself. Whatever they say, I'll listen to myself. I'm great, I'm good. I've been around, I've been gym to gym, coach to coach. I've learned so much and I can use it."

  11. 'Don't overcomplicate it'published at 18:43 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua says: "There is strategy and then there's passion. I have to be 15-round fit like the old school fighting. Don't overcomplicate it. I'll be a good dance partner and we'll give it our best."

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "This man here is carved in stone and every time he gets cracked on the jaw, he falls over. When I crack him on the jaw with a big right hand, he's going down."

  13. Postpublished at 18:41 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "From a little kid, it's all I ever wanted to do was be a fighter and a world champion. I was the most unlikely child to be a champion - fat, ugly, gangly. All of the above and I never let anyone discourage me. I always push through. If you believe in yourself and dedicate yourseld then you can achieve anything. I am a bald, fat, bearded, ugly, slow, ponderous. Whatever people want to say.

    Anthony Joshua has a little joke: "It's true what they're saying."

  14. 'We'll inspire this generation and the next generation'published at 18:39 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua on the fight in the UK: "It's breathtaking and I'm not saying that lightly. I'm really grateful for this opportunity and bringing it to Great Britain because I know people in pubs have had proper fights about who will win and family members have fallen out.

    "We'll inspire this generation and the next generation. It was people from this country supporting us. I'm fulfilling my destiny before I depart this world."

  15. 'It's been simmering nicely for a decade and a half'published at 18:37 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury says: "I wouldn't have it any other way. There have been some brilliant fights here. This is the biggest fight of today. We can only be the biggest of this era. Me and AJ will go and throw down. It's been simmering nicely for a decade and a half. We've had our ups and downs. We'll both get to fight each other on the world's biggest stage.

    "The tickets will probably sell out in about 39 seconds. This is the one I would want to see out of any fight today. There isn't a fight that could come close. A global event where everyone can watch it.

    "This fight is available on your Netflix package."

  16. 'We love it'published at 18:36 BST

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua responds: "We love it. That's the energy that we want. There is nothing else I expect from this man. But this is what will keep me running and I want to prove to myself that what he says isn't possible."

    Both can obviously box Fury is talented as is Joshua, but both in different ways. I admire Fury’s ability, but can’t stand the pantomime and circus that follows him, that’s why I’m in Joshua’s corner.

    Fury v Joshua

    Tyson Fury on the strategy against Anthony Joshua: "I tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to come out and blast him out. It will be the man who is going to win. I'm not going to run away or box, I'm going to throw down. I'm going to catch him and it'll be curtains."

    Fury v Joshua

    Anthony Joshua is very relaxed today. He's working the crowd as they ask him for free tickets.
