Anthony Joshua has not given up on wanting to fight waning giant Tyson Fury and is targeting him in 2025. The two former heavyweight champions are in a now-or-never situation with losses coming, and both look 100% washed out in the clinical sense.
The 1% vs. The Fans
Fans are put off by the idea of the uber-rich Joshua and Fury are fighting now. They see it as pure greed because there is no point in a match between them other than for the $100 million they are expected to get.
Whoever wins between them doesn’t matter. This is a celebrity match and has nothing to do with sporting relevance. Joshua & Fury make loads of money and then do it again later in the year at Wembley in London. The winner is not going to turn around and win a world title. If they fight Oleksandr Usyk again, they will lose like before.
Hopefully neither of them get another title shot because they don’t deserve it. Other heavyweights should get a chance instead if these two spoiled guys.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) has not opened his mouth to say if he will fight AJ next, but given his love of money, he is expected to. The 36-year-old Fury looked hellish and lost to WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in their December 21 rematch in Riyadh.
Fury looked like a textbook definition of a shot fighter, unable to pull the trigger, slow, fat, and nowhere near the guy he was many years ago.
That’s not to say he was elite in his prime, because he’s always been an upbeat fighter. He lived off the glory of his 2015 victory over 39-year-old over-the-hill Wladimir Klitschko. Nine years ago, Fury’s fans made a big production of that win, believing the win meant something.
“I really hope so in 2025. This is a fight that completes the era in many ways. We lost the Joshua-Wilder fights. We lost the Usyk-Wilder fights because they weren’t even,” Gareth A. Davies told the Stomping Grounds channeland talks about his hopes of making the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua to see ‘Battle of Britain’ clash in 2025.
“I think if we lose Joshua-Fury from the landscape in 2025, and it doesn’t happen, it will be a bit of a travesty for British boxing fans and the era of heavyweights. These guys (Fury & Joshua) have been on a collision course for almost 10 years or maybe more than 10 years.
“I hope it happens. Of course there is, but after a few months he will be keen to come back again,” Gareth said of the possibility of Fury retiring. “I do think it will happen. I’m going to go 9 out of 10 that it will happen in 2025. Wembley, please, in the summer, 90,000,” Gareth said of the Joshua-Fury UK bash.
