BOXING fans have joked Tyson Fury is up to his old tricks after Anthony Joshua’s Wikipedia page was changed to show he has already lost against his rival.
Though a date and venue are yet to be agreed for the blockbuster bout between the two British giants, AJ has already been knocked out judging by Wikipedia.
The 31-year-old’s page stated he had been stopped in the seventh round at Wembley on July 10, with his record changed to 24-2.
Fury revealed back in 2018 that he was banned by Wikipedia for altering Wladimir Klitschko’s record too often before their meeting in 2015.
And fans think the 32-year-old is at it again, where he has potentially given clues as to where the fight will be held as Eddie Hearn looks to secure a venue for the domestic dust-up.
Taking to twitter, one user commented: “Tyson is using every trick in the book to unsettle Joshua ffs.”
Another remarked: “It’s probably Fury’s mind games.”
A third quipped: “Must have been the time traveller. Best get some money on it.”
While Wembley is an option for Fury and Joshua, Matchroom promoter Hearn has also declared Saudi Arabia could host the event.
And the 41-year-old has stated that he will present both fighters with all the offers that have been presented to them.

He declared: “At the end of this week the fighters and their teams will be presented with all the offers and options that are on the table, of which there will be multiple ones.
“We’re in a good place. There will be around three or four offers presented to both camps this weekend, and then it’s over to them to discuss which ones they want to take, the dates of those fights.
“Same thing applies, two fights this year. It is a summer fight, that’s everything we’re working towards and as confident as ever that this gets done.
“I know there are some negative people out there and people who don’t think we can pull it off, but we spend a lifetime pulling things off and I believe we will get this done and I believe you will see this fight in the summer.
“The next step is basically to get everybody to agree to the venue and the date and they’re going to have multiple options to choose from.
“There’s no other fight for Tyson Fury, there’s no other fight for Anthony Joshua. This is the fight, everyone accepts that.”
