“In front of 70,000 at Tottenham, he never had the guts to get in the ring and face me.
“The biggest test is how big his balls are. Now we’ll see if he has the guts – but I’m not convinced.”

Just 1,500 fans were in attendance to see Wach, 46, comfortably beaten.

Fury claimed: “If it was Joshua instead of Wach in there, it would have gone the same way.
“I’d have jabbed his head off and chinned him.”

Fury initially claimed he would not travel to Jeddah to watch AJ – but U-turned last night.
He added: “I am going. I will see you ringside. He is getting chinned.
“I want to keep going, I want to box. If the fight is going to be postponed until next year, I’m going to fight again and again and again.
“I’m not going to stay out of the ring and wait for a sausage. A big useless potato. I could have sat down and done f*** all for two years.
“It’s the whole build-up, fight week, press conferences, weigh-ins and wrapping your hands for real.
“It’s going out there and having a fight with a big man. It all builds you up for the next one.”
Fury looked sharp, switching southpaw and peppering Wach with crisp combinations.
The Pole repeatedly tried to wrestle on the inside, but Fury remained in complete control and even playfully kissed his opponent during a clinch.

After seven one-sided rounds, the ringside doctor stepped in to halt the contest.
Fury added: “I got what I needed, 100 per cent. I got some good rounds in and Mariusz is a tough man.
“Going into my next fight – whoever that may be – I’ll be sharp and match fit.”
Now the spotlight shifts 4,000 miles west to Jeddah, with Joshua knowing victory will lead to a fight British boxing has chased for more than a decade.
