Fury, 38, said of Joshua. &#8220;I mostly find myself defending my arch rival to fans in the street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On Monday, there was still uncertainty over whether the fight would happen because of contractual disagreements surrounding the promotion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There had been plenty of reason to expect fireworks on Wednesday. Instead, Joshua, 36, spoke about the magnitude of the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s breathtaking and I&#8217;m not saying that lightly,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;m really grateful for this opportunity and bringing it to Great Britain because I know people in pubs have had proper fights about who will win and family members have fallen out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The mood was perhaps best summed up at the face-off, when Joshua smiled and pretended to tickle Fury&#8217;s stomach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"links\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1gccci3-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"ssrcss-94r6ik-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<li class=\"ssrcss-qzx51b-LinkItem e3eyuya1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1gccci3-Stack e1y4nx260\"><span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0s6gx-LinkHeadline e3eyuya4\"><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Relive Fury &amp;

When the news conference began, master of ceremonies Michael Buffer introduced the pair as fireworks shot up from the front of the stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">They entered from opposite sides at the same time &#8211; Joshua relaxed and composed in a grey tracksuit and sunglasses, Fury in more flamboyant fashion in a vivid emerald-green suit covered in crown motifs over a white shirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Alongside the world&#8217;s media, a few hundred fans filled the balcony above and quickly made their allegiance known as &#8220;Oh Anthony Joshua&#8221; rang around the British Airways ARC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Joshua has been credited with pushing to keep the fight in Britain and, if Wednesday was any indication, can expect strong backing in Cardiff &#8211; even with the main event potentially starting about 02:00 GMT to suit American audiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For two men whose names have been linked for so long, Fury and Joshua have spent remarkably little time together. But their famous sparring session in 2010, when Joshua was still an amateur, soon became the topic of conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fury suggested he had got the better of it, prompting one fan to shout: &#8220;Liar.&#8221; Joshua smiled and said he could not remember.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For those who believe the fight has come years too late, Fury had a simple response. &#8220;It&#8217;s the icing on the cake of two great careers,&#8221; he said. Moments later, he glanced back at the word &#8220;Finally&#8221; on the giant screen behind them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There were several moments of common ground. Fury nodded along as Joshua spoke about his Christian faith and, even when the pair traded insults, they rarely felt venomous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This man here is carved in stone and every time he gets cracked on the jaw, he falls over,&#8221; Fury said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;When I crack him on the jaw with a big right hand, he&#8217;s going down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Joshua laughed and shouted back Fury&#8217;s own catchphrase: &#8220;Get up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"White-absent-after-week-of-uncertainty\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">White absent after week of uncertainty<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The fight has been reported as being for the vacant WBA &#8216;super&#8217; heavyweight title, although current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev&#8217;s team has lodged a formal objection over the proposed title arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For a moment, it appeared the mood could turn when Joshua revealed he had received a call asking whether Fury&#8217;s name could appear first in the promotion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;You&#8217;ve been crying behind the scenes to get out of this fight. I&#8217;ve checkmated you. You have to fight,&#8221; Fury replied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve actually never won a world title here. Now it&#8217;s on the line, we can become a three-time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That exchange came after several chaotic days in which the role of UFC and Zuffa Boxing chief Dana White had threatened to overshadow the fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Netflix had presented White as part of the promotion alongside Turki Alalshikh&#8217;s The Ring, despite Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn insisting his fighter&#8217;s contract prevented White from having a promotional role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But White did not attend Wednesday&#8217;s launch. And when Alalshikh thanked the American from the stage, his name was met with jeers from sections of the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fury did momentarily take aim at Hearn, calling him a &#8220;sausage&#8221; &#8211; but even that did not last long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Within minutes, Fury was offering to go for a pint with the Matchroom boss &#8211; and extended the invitation to Joshua.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I hope after this fight we can have a pint of Guinness together,&#8221; Fury said. &#8220;Win, lose or draw, let&#8217;s bury the hatchet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I can trust you,&#8221; Joshua replied, drawing laughter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The overriding mood was one of relief between two veterans, who were seemingly happy to let the fight settle what years of talk could not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"topicList\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-tcr9z1-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div
