World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is hoping to 'bladder' Anthony Joshua after he does the same to Wladimir Klitschko in their rematch.

The unbeaten Mancunian (25-0-KO18) attended Carl Frampton's super-bantamweight world title unification win over Scott Quigg at the weekend and Sky Sports was on-hand to question him on the news Joshua (15-0-KO15) will challenge Charles Martin for the IBF world title on April 9.

Fury, who watched his cousin Hosea Burton and Isaac Lowe clinch the British light-heavyweight and Commonwealth featherweight titles respectively, said: "I am going to bladder Wlad in the next fight then I am going to bladder Joshua in the next one.

I'll introduce them to big-time boxing. I will say: 'Welcome to big-time boxing' to either of them. Once I've flattened them."

"It will be huge in this country for sure. If he wins - or whoever wins - I will fight them next. I hope Joshua wins because of the money and Martin because he is such a nice guy.

"One thing I do know is when the fight happens between Joshua or Martin, I'll introduce them to big-time boxing. I will say: 'Welcome to big-time boxing' to either of them. Once I've flattened them."

Fury snatched the WBA Super, WBO and IBF crowns when he outpointed Klitschko (64-4-KO53) in November - but he was subsequently stripped of the IBF belt, which was then won by Martin when fellow challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov was forced to retire in the third round of their January bout.
