The Gypsy King is at Wembley to watch the action unfold

DAZN were forced to issue an apology after Tyson Fury swore in an interview prior to the fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois later tonight.

The Gypsy King is currently at Wembley to watch the action unfold amid reports he'll face AJ if the Watford-born boxer comes out on top.


Fury was asked if he was enjoying himself in the capital.

But the boxing star then hilariously quipped that he'd actually prefer to watch the action unfold from home instead.

“It’s good to be here watching the boxing, ringside, watching the fights," he said.

“But, it’s better at home, watching it on tele if I’m honest!

“I could have a few Diet Coke’s, a couple of sandwiches, kissing my wife [Paris], better – a lot better!”

Fury then dropped an expletive, with the 36-year-old adding: "They're going to knock the little s**t out of each other.

“Who is gonna win? I don’t know. I don’t know anything about boxing, obviously. Every time I say a prediction I get it wrong anyway.

"I predict it will be a good fight. It looks like someone might get knocked out.

“They are both big old punchers, ain’t they?

“You wouldn’t want to get punched in the face or in the b******s by any of them.".

"The thing with fighting is this – it takes more than being strong to be a champion and to be a complete fighter.

"It's good, of course, but I truly believe from what I've studied, read and what great people who have come before me have said, it takes more than being a physical specimen.

"That's a good attribute, but when you come across someone who is willing to take that from you, you've given them your best shot and they are able to take it, that's when you figure out what it takes to be a champion. That's what I've done."
