Fury (36-2-1) will enter the ring for the first time since a pair of victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach, rebounding from title losses to Oleksandr Usyk. On a video posted Wednesday, before the announcement, Fury promised a quick knockout against the “little coward.” “I’m gonna knock him out so bad, it’s gonna be unbelievable,” Fury said. “It’s gonna be the quickest knockout ever. Man’s chinny and a poppadom, paper chin. I’m taking him out. The last two real fights he had, it was over in both first rounds — not including Jake Paul, obviously. So the last two fights he had, he was down in the first round twice. I’m taking this cunt out. One round.” Joshua (30-4) is also on a two-fight winning streak after knocking out YouTube sensation Jake Paul and surviving an early scare before stopping Kristian Prenga in the second round. “I am inspiring a generation,” Joshua wrote on social media.
