The change got here just hours after Fury had indicated he wouldn’t make the trip. As a substitute, he confirmed he intends to be ringside. He also backed Joshua to complete Prenga inside the gap.<\/p>\n

When the interviewer brought up the potential for skipping the event, Fury modified course.<\/p>\n

Q: \u201cTomorrow you\u2019re definitely not going to Jeddah, right?\u201d
Tyson Fury: \u201cYeah, I\u2019m going\u201d saiid to the Stomping Ground.<\/p>\n

Q: \u201cWhat are you expecting from Anthony Joshua versus Christian Prenga tomorrow?\u201d
Tyson Fury: \u201cA knockout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: \u201cI’ll interview Anthony Joshua after his fight tomorrow, provided he wins. Would you might have a message that I can tell him from you directly?\u201d
Tyson Fury: \u201cGo and suck my big Gypsy balls. Tell him that. And he\u2019s getting chinned.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seven-round outing with Wach gave the previous heavyweight champion precisely the type of work he wanted before returning for a much bigger event. The trip to Jeddah also creates one other face-to-face moment as speculation continues a couple of long-awaited meeting between the 2 British heavyweights.<\/p>\n

He also made it clear he has no intention of sitting idle while waiting for a take care of Joshua. Inactivity, he believes, only gives opponents a greater likelihood, and he intends to maintain fighting if their proposed meeting is pushed into next 12 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could have sat down and done nothing for 2 years. Why would I need to do this to offer people more likelihood to beat me? If the fight\u2019s going to be postponed for next 12 months, I\u2019m going to fight time and again and again. After all I’m,\u201d said Fury.<\/p>\n
