SunSport asked him: "Yes, ofcourse, I do consider this fight to be a big one. He is a great fighter, an athlete, and he speaks a lot.
"He claims that he is the king among the kings. But it's only him who believes this. This is all I can say about him."
He said, "Before my Joshua fight, everyone was saying I don't have a chance to win and defeat Joshua."
"I heard those kinds of things all my life. But I am now capable of beating Fury. I don't boast that I can beat any boxer in the world. I just go to the gym and do what I have to.
"I train hard, work hard, and put in all of my effort. I don't want to be the king of all the Universe.
"I do what is necessary. I focus and concentrate, and I get the results according to my efforts.
