Anthony Joshua has not given up on his desire to fight fading giant Tyson Fury and is targeting him in 2025. Two former heavyweight champions are in a now-or-never situation as they bounce back from losses, and both look 100% washed up in a clinical sense.
1% against the fans
Fans were repulsed by the idea of uber rich Joshua and Fury are fighting right now. They see it as pure greed because there is no point in a head-to-head match except for the $100 million expected.
Whoever wins now between them is not important. This is a celebrity match and has nothing to do with sporting significance. Joshua and Fury make loads of money and then do it again later in the year at Wembley in London. The winner will not turn around and win the world title. If they fight Oleksandr Usyk again, they will lose like before.
Let’s hope neither of them get another shot at the title because they don’t deserve it. Other heavyweights should get the opportunity, not these two spoiled brats.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KO) didn’t open his rant to say if he’ll fight AJ next, but given his love of money, it’s expected that he will. The 36-year-old Fury looked hellish, losing to WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch on December 21 in Riyadh.
Fury looked like the textbook definition of a shot fighter, unable to pull the trigger, slow, fat, and nowhere near the guy he was years ago.
That’s not to say he was elite in his prime as he was always a feisty fighter. He lived off the glory of his victory over 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Nine years ago, Fury’s fans made a big production of that win, believing the win meant something.
“I really sincerely hope for 2025. It’s an era-ending fight in many ways. We lost the Joshua-Wilder fights. We lost the Usyk-Wilder fights because they didn’t match up,” Gareth A. Davies told Stomping Grounds. channelspeaking of his hopes of seeing a Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua ‘Battle of Britain’ clash in 2025.
“I think if we lose Joshua-Fury from the landscape in 2025 and it doesn’t happen, it would be a bit of a travesty for British boxing fans and the heavyweight era. These guys [Fury & Joshua] been on a collision course for almost 10 years or maybe more than 10 years.
“I hope it will happen. Of course there is, but after a couple of months he will want to come back again,” said Gareth about the possibility of Fury retiring. “I think it will happen. I’ll go 9 out of 10 it will happen in 2025. Wembley please in the summer, 90,000,” Gareth said of the British Joshua-Fury clash.
