Fury: 'Joshua is slow and ponderous'

WBO and WBA champion Tyson Fury has claimed that Anthony Joshua looked 'slow and ponderous' during his title fight against American Charles Martin on Saturday night.

Joshua was crowned the new IBF world heavyweight champion with a second-round stoppage at the O2 Arena as the Brit made it 16 victories from his 16 professional fights.

Fury, however, has claimed that his fellow Brit "still looked like a bodybuilder" and wants to be given the opportunity to "slay the lamb".

"So AJ gets a belt, looked slow ponderous, and still looked like a bodybuilder, let me slay the lamb," Fury tweeted.

Fury will once again take on Wladimir Klitschko on July 9 at the Manchester Arena and it is understood that Joshua could also defend his title at the same event.
