Anthony Joshua’s silence in the build-up has been deafening according to Fury

An insider close to the Fury camp said: “So far AJ has allowed his management team to do all the talking.

“In contrast, Tyson has been front and centre pushing for this contest and taking the fight directly to Joshua. 

“Tyson thinks this says it all and that he already has the upper hand and that he has AJ on the run. 

“He is determined to boss things in and out of the ring from here until fight night.”

Tyson goaded AJ a few weeks ago after offering him an unexpected way back to the big time. 

Urging AJ to take a 60/40 split of a £50m fee, Fury told him: “AJ, I have not heard from you at all, you have not said whether you want the fight or not.

“To clarify, there has never been a December 17 date, ever.

“There has only been November 26 at Wembley or December 3 in Cardiff.

“This is it AJ, don’t get scared now.

“Agree to the fight and let’s give the fans what they want.

“I have given you an unbelievable deal and an unbelievable opportunity, so it’s showtime. Take the fight.”

The contract for the fight has since been signed by Joshua’s team as they confirmed the 60/40 split and December 3rd date.

Yesterday we told how Fury is vowing to win his fight against AJ “nice and early”.

Fury celebrates retaining the WBC belt after beating Dillian Whyte in April

Joshua lost the opportunity to become a three-time world champion when he lost to Oleksandr Usyk last month

“Tyson wants to leave with a win and win in style,” a source close to the Gypsy King said. 

“He wants to leave no one in doubt who is the better fighter.

“He wants an early KO to put the whole debate about who is the better fighter to bed once and for all.”

Despite having everything to lose, Tyson has also told pals he feels “zero pressure”.

Our source added: “Tyson isn’t nervous. Why would he be? He knows he has all the tools to dismantle Joshua and he plans to demonstrate that.”

Tyson’s vow comes days after Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum warned Joshua he faces a “massacre” if he accepts the challenge of the all-British clash.

WBC heavyweight world champion Fury announced his retirement after beating Dillian Whyte in April, but has reversed that decision numerous times.

Here are the Basic Skills of Boxing

How to box effectively

Boxing is one the most well-known sports in the world. It involves two people who attempt to knock each other out of their heads. Boxing rules vary from one country or another. In general, there are three types of boxing; Amateur, Professional and Olympic boxing.

Amateur boxing is usually practiced at school, college or university. This boxing style includes sparring sessions without protection, using padded gloves. Amateur boxing contests are usually three rounds in length, lasting five minutes each. There are many types of amateur boxing: Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Taekwondo.

Boxing professionals are usually trained in clubs, gyms, or stadiums. They are protected by protective equipment like a mouthpiece, nose protector, shinguards, elbow pads and knee pads, waist belt, and groin protection. Six rounds of professional boxing last four minutes each. There are many different types of professional Boxing such as Boxing, MMA, Kickboxing, Muay Thai or Taekwondo.

Olympic boxing is done at the Olympics. Boxers wear special protective gear, which must conform to international standards. Each round lasts three minutes and is made up of eight rounds. Only two types of Olympic boxing are available: Light Flyweight or Heavyweight.

The basic skills of boxing are:

  • Techniques for punching
  • Guarding techniques
  • Footwork
  • Stance
  • Moving your body
  • Defense
  • Combination
  • Rotation
  • Spare parts

Punching Techniques

There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.

There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination may contain several parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.

Legs

To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.

Elbows

Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.

Hands

Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.

Knees

Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.

Feet

When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.

Stances

A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are the most commonly used ones:

  • A low stance
  • High stance
  • Southpaw stance
  • Western stance

Move your body

A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.

Rotation

To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.

Combinations

The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.

Sparring

Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.

Learning to box takes dedication and patience. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
