Rare Footage Of 22-Year-Old Tyson Fury Praising Amatuer Boxer Anthony Joshua Emerges Online

"Watch out for Anthony Joshua. He is one prospect." - Tyson Fury.

Back in 2010, 22-year-old Tyson Fury took part in a radio interview when he was on the brink of becoming a big name in the heavyweight division.

The current world heavyweight champion Fury discussed a number of topics during the interview, including current rival Anthony Joshua back when he was an amateur

During the interview, Fury explains how he travelled to Finchly boxing club in London for a sparring session with the ABA champion Anthony Joshua.

Fury said the following about Joshua during the interview in 2010:

"He's red hot him (Joshua), He's a very good prospect. To be honest with you, I thought to myself, i'd take it easy on him because he's is only an amateur and he probably won't spar again if I go mad.

"He's rushed out at me and threw a left hook, bashed me with a big uppercut right on the point of the chin and if i had a weak chin like David Price i'd have been knocked out for a month"

Tyson Fury changed his tune quick....
