Tyson Fury has offered to take Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn out for a pint of Guinness after December's Battle of Britain.
Fury and Joshua will clash in Cardiff on December 11 in a fight which has been brewing for a decade. The British heavyweights will meet for a world title six years after they held the four portions of the championship between them.
Hearn and White rivalry
The build-up to Thursday's announcement was dominated by Hearn's rivalry with UFC chief Dana White. White, through his boxing outfit Zuffa Boxing, has long insisted he will be involved in the fight but Hearn insists Joshua's contract states he can't be.
And Fury told FurociTV: "In Joshua's contract, apparently it says TKO and Dana couldn't be involved. That was in mine, but I took it out. I took it out so he could be involved. F*** 'em, I want him involved, two baldies together. I like Dana, good businessman, and a good guy.
"He's a man who came from nothing to being a billionaire, and look what he's done with the UFC. Unbelievable. I think he can do really well in boxing. I think he drives Eddie Hearn out, feeds him to the fishes. I haven't got no problem with Eddie, never have done. He's just got, you know, a rival boxer, and that's it."
Fury's offer and prediction
"There's no big deal between me and Eddie; I'd go out for a beer with Eddie Hearn today, wouldn't give a f***, and tomorrow, and the day after, and next week, and after the fight, no problem. Listen, either way, whatever happens, I'll take him and his pal out for a few Guinnesses. I'll probably have another fight after that, another ten Guinnesses, and then have another fight."
Fury, meanwhile, insists his fight with Joshua won't see the second half. "I'm going to knock AJ out 100 per cent. I just want to get in there and smash him to pieces," he added. "I'm going to box the head off him and stop him inside six or seven rounds. Joshua for me is an old dosser bum and a weightlifter. He lifts too many weights, doesn't have enough speed, and has no cardio."
