Former world champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) insists that he’s still the man to beat when it comes to heavyweight boxing and is eager for what he calls an Ireland v Britain showdown against Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs).

Joshua established himself as the one of the world's leading heavyweight by adding the WBA, IBO belts to his IBF title with a dramatic 11th-round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko last month.

Last year, Fury surrendered the world heavyweight titles he won by beating Klitschko in an effort to focus on fighting his mental health problems.

Speaking to 2FM’s Game On, Fury claimed that Joshua’s style was tailor made for him and that he’d consider it an easy fight.

"If I could design at fighter to fight, it would be Anthony Joshua, a big weight lifter who’s looking for one punch, he’s a boxer’s dream," Fury said

"You don’t need to make AJ throw a million punches to gas, AJ will gas on his own muscle juice after four or five rounds. He’s that big and muscley that if he’s made fight for a few rounds, he has to take the same amount of rounds to get his wind back.

"I could guarantee I’d box his face off, without a doubt - easy work. I had Klitschko as my easiest fight but I’d rephrase that now, AJ will be my easiest fight. When you’ve got one man looking for one knockout all night long and the other man boxing his face off and getting ahead on points, that knockout rarely ever comes when you’re looking for it."

"You’ve got the boxer against the fighter, the powerhouse versus the fleet-footed dancer. You’ve got the nice man in AJ and the most controversial man in sport in Mr Fury. You’ve got the great British hope in AJ and you’ve got the great Irish heavyweight in Tyson Fury, so it makes for a great clash of styles and backgrounds."

At the moment, Fury is fighting allegations of using a banned substance in early 2015 and is waiting to finish up a hearing with UKAD, which began this week and got postponed for several months by the organization.
