    I would like to avenge my losses against Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. If Andy Ruiz Jr gets the win over AJ in the rematch I know he will want to avenge the defeat to me.

    We are different fighters now and I know he will want to show how good he is. Ruiz showed a lot of heart and determination to get back up and fight hard against AJ. He has very fast hands with a lot of power.

    It's all part of the attraction. He is a character and it's great to have him back in the division.

    West Ham's young starlet has been up early (or up late) to watch Fury. I bet Tyson would make a decent central defender...

    Fury wins in two rounds

    Joseph Parker
    Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    He has made a big impact in the UK but from this fight he is also going to make a huge impact in the US. A lot of people are drawn to him because he is so charismatic.

    He is very good at speaking and he brings a lot more to fight night than just boxing. This is just the beginning.

    If you are just joining us:

    - Tyson Fury walked to the ring in a robe, shorts and top hat sporting the US colours

    - He moved freely in round one, picking punches to assert dominance

    - He dropped Tom Schwarz in round two with a flurry of punches on the ropes

    - With Schwarz cornered, his corner threw the towel in just as the referee was stopping the bout

    - Fury confirms he will fight in the US again on 21 September or on 5 October

    What a statement. I know Tom Schwarz is not of the same class of Fury's last opponents but he was game and he did his best.

    Tyson Fury is very difficult to land anything on and practice makes perfect. We have seen him do it in training and it's great to see it come into fruition. Ultimately, he did his job.

  19. 'Wilder will happen'published at 05:19 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Fury wins in two rounds

    Promoter Frank Warren says Tyson Fury was "punch perfect".

    Warren tells BT Sport: "Wilder's team want to make it happen. Everybody wants to make it happen and it will happen."

    Fury continues: "Frank brought me back from the brink. I was out, down and out. He brought me back. It's a fairy tale story and I'm still living the dream. I am over the moon. A fairy tale story and we move on."

  20. 'The heavyweight division is alive and well'published at 05:17 British Summer Time 16 June 2019

    Joseph Parker
    Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It was a great welcoming fight for him in Las Vegas and I know Tyson Fury has a lot more to give in the future of boxing.

    He is the type of fighter you have to chase down to get to his body because he is very good at not getting hit. The next time he faces Deontay Wilder I think it is a great chance to get the win.

    The heavyweight division is alive and well and there are some big fights to be made in the future.
