The three top heavyweight boxers in Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua have talked quite a bit of smack towards each other in recent months. In light of Joshua’s upset loss to Ruiz though, Fury changed his tune and decided to take the high road, sending the now former heavyweight champion a nice message on social media.
