Tyson Fury and Antonhy Joshua are two of the biggest names in British sport with the two heavyweight champions seemingly on a crash course towards a bout which will break all domestic records.
The two men have been sparring verbally for some time now but audio has emerged of Fuyy discussing the time he sparred the then amateur Joshua in the ring before he was famous, and it makes for explosive listening!
Fury is getting ready for the second fight of his comeback against Francesco Pianeta in Belfast this weekend but the majority of boxing fans are already keeping their fingers crossed the two Brits will finally get together in the ring in 2019.
The interview recorded with Steve Bunce took place in 2010 and it features a young Fury discussing a sparring session he had with a young fighter out of the Finchley Boxing Club...
"He's (Anthony Joshua) red hot him, he's very good....he gave me a big uppercut on the point of the chin, if id have had a bit of a weak chin like David Price, id have been knocked out for a month!"
"Watch out for that name...Anthony Joshua!"
Well Tyson Fury was right to tell people to watch out for the name of Joshua, with the former Finchley amateur now top of the division with three belts to his name and looking to add a fourth.
Tyson Fury is of course hoping to be the man to take away that dream and could be set to fight Deontay Wilder for the WBC belt if he can get past Pianeta this weekend.
The rivalry between the two fighters is clearly real these days given what's on the line but Fury was clearly a good judge and it would be remarkable to think these two men could go from a low level sparring session to one of the biggest fights of all time within a decade.
