A clip of Fury’s remarks — including the lines "I ain't gonna run away, I'm gonna throw down" and "when I do it's gonna be curtains" — was shared on social media, BoxingNews24 said. The publication’s piece includes tactical commentary about the risks and rewards of Fury committing to exchanges. Boxing Ring News has not independently verified the report and notes the original material was circulated via a social clip attributed to @2UPMMA.

Press conference

Fury promises to meet Joshua 'head-on' and go for the finish

BoxingNews24 reported that at a press conference on 30 September 2026, Tyson Fury told assembled media he would not keep his distance against Anthony Joshua and would instead engage with the intention of finishing the fight. The report reproduces two lines from Fury shown in a circulating clip: "I ain't gonna run away, I'm gonna throw down," and "I’m gonna catch him, and when I do it’s gonna curtains." BoxingNews24’s story notes the clip was shared on social media by the handle @2UPMMA, and a version was highlighted in a tweet by Source of Boxing. BoxingNews24 presented these remarks as Fury’s public promise to pursue a stoppage.

Tactical implications

BoxingNews24 notes aggression brings risk as well as reward

BoxingNews24’s report emphasises that Fury’s commitment to trading punches alters the tactical equation. The piece argues that loudly declaring an intention to come forward gives Anthony Joshua clearer opportunities to land heavy countershots if Fury enters punching range. At the same time, BoxingNews24 suggested Fury could achieve a knockout without standing toe-to-toe by using his jab and feints to create openings before launching decisive attacks. The report underlines that a knockout plan can be executed in different ways and that Fury’s press‑conference rhetoric omits the finer details — timing, distance control and follow‑up decisions — which will determine whether a landed shot becomes a finish.
Opponent response

What Fury's promise means for Joshua's preparation

According to BoxingNews24, Fury’s public vow to engage presents a planning challenge for Anthony Joshua. The report warns that preparing exclusively for an aggressive, come‑forward Fury could leave Joshua chasing if Fury instead mixes movement and resets the range. BoxingNews24 also highlighted the distinction between hurting an opponent and finishing him: if Fury lands cleanly, the publication noted, subsequent choices — whether to press immediately, manage distance or hunt a stoppage — will be critical. The article frames Fury’s comments as a promotional promise that Joshua can either punish or test, depending on how the approach plays out in the ring.

Verification
