Dayum! They already spared 6 years ago? Big Josua fan here but god dayum! Fury reached ATG status within this time, beat the 10 year long reigning heavyweight champ, dethroned him, schooled him, embarssed him in front of his homecrowd. Meanwhile AJ's best win is Whyte. Not trying to bash AJ, since I am a fan as you guys already know, but Fury is just a different league.
Sounded to me like he was just trying to play it up, as he does with everything. My translation: "I thought I was facing some no nothing punk kid, so I tried to take it real easy on him, then found out he was a serious competitor and I shouldn't take it easy on him."
