And he got the perfect view as AJ floored his opponent in epic style to secure the victory in the second round.

The cameras immediately cut to Fury, who looked completely stunned by his fellow British heavyweight’s brutal finish.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn jumped out of his chair in excitement as his man delivered the crushing right hand to his Cameroonian opponent.

Frank Warren in the next seat looked perplexed as Paris Fury immediately started clapping.

But her husband Tyson sat perfectly still for a few moments, absorbing the heavy shot.

And fans were convinced the WBC heavyweight champion is worried about the prospect of a potential showdown with Joshua after witnessing his raw power.

One said: “I like Fury but he looks terrified here.”

Another wrote: “Tyson Fury is scared already.”

A third added: “He looks worried.”

A fourth typed: “Tyson Fury’s reaction to Anthony Joshua’s knockout of Francis Ngannou. I wonder what could be going through his mind.”

And one end user replied: “Fury’s reaction may be the most pathetic way of showing you’re not scared I’ve ever seen.”

After his initial motionless reaction, Fury eventually applauded his compatriot for the incredible knockout before once again standing in apparent shock.

Joshua’s emphatic win came just four months after the Gypsy King wrestled to a controversial split-decision points win over Ngannou.

However, Joshua made light work of the MMA legend.

He knocked Ngannou down two minutes into the match, prompting a hugely enthusiastic response from Fury.

Ngannou was back on the canvas early in the second inning, but stumbled back to his feet.

But AJ, 34, completed the demolition job later in the second round with a ferocious punch with his big right hand.

And now there is plenty of talk that Fury and Joshua will finally meet in the ring after years of talks.

Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk in May, with all the world heavyweight titles at stake.

‘AJ DID GREAT’

There is a rematch clause in their contract, but boxing fans will be desperate for the Battle of Britain.

Asked about the fight against Joshua at the Kingdom Arena, Fury said: “I’m sure Oleksandr Usyk has something to say about that.

“I had a terrible performance against Ngannou.

“AJ did an absolutely fantastic job lighting him up with his right hand.

“If he fights me after I beat Usyk twice, it will be a different match.”

Joshua, who took his record to 28-3 on Friday night, will be desperate to get another shot at the big win after reviving his career following back-to-back defeats to Usyk.

The Watford man said: “On the way to the championship you always have to stay focused and I had to step away from the mission

“When I saw the Fury fight I thought this guy can fucking fight, I want a piece of that.

“I’m still learning and pushing, I don’t know if I’ll reach my peak. If I was down there, you’d say, ‘Anthony Joshua needs to retire.’

“In five years I will be done with fighting and sitting, and all this will be a distant memory.

“I’ll go back and lock myself in my cage and they can let me out if they want me to fight. I just want to fight.”
