Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to discuss AJ’s knockout, and some sent a warning to Tyson Fury ahead of a potential all-British bout.
‘Tyson Fury ain’t beating this Anthony Joshua,’ wrote Nathan Armstrong.
CFC Mod shared the sentiment, saying: ‘Anthony Joshua > Tyson Fury.

Speaking after the fight, AJ spoke on his previous losses before looking to the future as he said: ‘You realise how much your life changes when you lose.
‘When you win, it’s on to the next, innit? I’m not even buzzing about the win. On to the next, go.
‘If I was the old AJ, it would have been just strength vs strength. It would have taken years out of my career.
‘Fury, Usky, if they want me they can come knocking at my door.’
It is expected that the winner of Fury’s bout with Usyk will take on Joshua.
