The 31-year-old Brit, while expressing confidence over knock-out defeat of the Bronze Bomber, also hinted at a potential switch to wrestling having made a victorious debut.

"I'm going to knock Wilder out, and he's not going to want a rematch, I'm going to fight Joshua, I'm going to beat him too, and then I've always said to my old pal Dereck Chisora I'd have a farewell fight with him.

"Maybe we can get the Old Trafford fight with old Del Boy. And then it's curtains on a fantastic career," the Gypson King.

Fury made his debut in heavyweight boxing division in 2008 and has since made it into the ring 30 times including the bout with Deontay Wilder which ended in a draw.

Wilder and Fury had their first fight in December 2018 and it resulted into a controversial split, with both sides emerging winners in grand style.
