Tyson Fury has stated that he will retire in his corner if he fails to score a knock out punch on Anthony Joshua ahead of their heavyweight unification bout.
The two British heavyweight are set to clash twice later in the year after signing a two-fight agreement reportedly worth about £200million.
The Gypsy King has been posting intimidating messages on social media to play mind games with his compatriot Joshua.
And in one of the messages sent on Twitter, Fury said he would throw in the gloves if he fails to knocked down his opponent on the big night.
“Just been thinking, another message for AJ, if you go past three rounds with me I’ll quit in the corner.
‘Cos that’s how confident I am of taking you cold out within the first two or three rounds. Out. Out like a light switch.”
It is understood that both fighters will pocket £54m each from their blockbuster battle this summer.
Reports claim the fight will be scheduled by the end of July or the beginning of August in Saudi Arabia.
Tyson Fury had earlier stated that he would hit Anthony Joshua in the face repeatedly to knock him out when they finally meet for their heavyweight unification clash this year.
All four belts including the WBA, IBF, WBO titles held by Joshua and the WBC strap round the wait of Fury will be put on the line.
