Mike Tyson believes Anthony Joshua is the best heavyweight in the world, ahead of the likes of Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.

Joshua holds the IBF, WBA (Super) and WBO champion, while his direct rival Wilder is the WBC king.

Wilder and Joshua were in talks to fight this summer, but it now seems the American is set to take on Fury later this year.

Fans are desperate to see the top heavyweights go to war, but Tyson thinks Joshua has already proven he is the best.

‘He’s the stronger guy, bigger guy, more put together, more put together as far as boxing skills are concerned as well.

‘I think he’s the best fighter out of the lot.’

Wilder has told Joshua he will not accept the invitation to fight him at Wembley in April after being enraged by AJ’s decision to pull the plug on negotiations this summer.

Fury too has slammed Joshua for refusing to face Wilder, and the heavyweight has dismissed reports he is considering pulling out of his showdown with the WBC champion.

Wilder was ringside for Fury’ last fight in Belfast to announce their bout, but no date or venue has been confirmed.

‘Just a quick update, I’ve been reading and I’ve heard some rumours that this fight is off with me and Wilder,’ Fury said.
