'Just from a resume point of view and world-title defence point of view, there is no way, it's just crazy.

'One thing I find interesting when it comes to me is that it's, ' Anthony Joshua versus this one', or, 'Anthony Joshua versus that one'. 'But it's, 'Fury versus whoever he wants', and Deontay Wilder sits silent for two years after he fought Robert Helenius, but I have to fight everyone. 'Fury didn't fight Joseph Parker when he was champion, he didn't fight Charles Martin, and whether you rate Martin or not, he was still a champion. 'He didn't fight me when I was champion. 'There's more to it, a lot more to it, than just fighting three or four guys from the era. 'I have tried to fight the majority of the top-10 heavyweights of my era. I've always fought close to top 10 in the rankings. 'I want to do it for respect. That's why sometimes I joke I am only doing it for the money, because){kind=link}
