"Povetkin is nobody’s fool, Povetkin’s a dangerous customer. The only person to ever beat him was Wladimir. There’s no shame in losing to Wladimir Klitschko.
"I thought he did fantastic to win and carry on what he’s doing for boxing."
Fury was also full of praise for Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, with whom he's shared a few choice words in the past.
Fury has laughed off suggestions that he genuinely dislikes the Matchroom boss and couldn't have been nicer when discussing Hearn's status as one of boxing's top promoters.
"I think he’s a decent bloke to be honest. He’s funny, charismatic, young, good-looking, tall – everything a good promoter should be. He’s British, got a good dress sense," Fury said.
"I don’t dislike Eddie, I think he’s a nice fella. When I’ve been in his company we always have a laugh and a chat. I understand it’s just business…
"I could never say Eddie Hearn is a bad promoter or a bad manager because look what he’s done with Joshua. I don’t believe anybody else could have done the same job in the world."Explore more on these topics:
