Tyson Fury will hit if not boxes Anthony Joshua, says British box legend Ricky Hatton | Boxing news
Tyson Fury should examine his last pension and fight Anthony Joshua, recommends British box legends Ricky Hatton.
Manchester’s Hatton knows Fury well and has previously helped in his workout.
Fury publicly announced a boxing from boxing in January and has not yet given an indication that he plans to reverse that decision.
But Hatton said Sky Sports: “Tyson is already retired. It just happens that they were trying to get Joshua fighting. They were trying to do it for 10 years, and it seems that it will still not make Tyson retired.
“But I would take that pension with a pinch of salt by knowing Tyson. If he is offered a real money, a real handbag to fight AJ, knowing Tyson as I do, I think he would jump on it.”
Hatton believes that Joshua’s fighting would be the right choice for anger.
“I think Tyson will hit if he was sitting on the couch for 10 years down the line and thinks to himself,” I wonder what would happen if I would fight against Aj? “Hatton said.
“He is able to do something about it, not to curse for the rest of his life.”
However, if Fury boxes Joshua, Hatton believes he should call the time in his career then. “If he does, it’s the last one, I wish he had. Because you don’t like to see your friends injuries,” Hatton said.
“I would love to see him withdrawing. I think he did enough. I would love to see Aj fight, but I think he did enough. Let it be fine, a few years ago, when he was 26. We never thought he would fight more.
“He was almost not here because of all the problems he had. So, to do what he did, he made us all proud and I would love to see him now.”
Fury competed at the highest level last year. He lost his WBC belt in the undeniable fight against the Maya World Cup with Oleksandra Usyk, and in December he scored in their rematch for the WBC, WBA and WBO titles.
“His fight against Usyk were I think he was much closer than Aj’s fights with Usyk,” Hatton thought. “Daniel Dubois obviously beat USyk and there was little controversy in that one.
“I think Usyk won both fights against Tyson, but I see why other people thought Tyson might have won them. Since they were so close. Tyson, there is still a lot in the tank as far as I’m concerned. Usyk pushed the farthest than anyone else.
“Look at what he did and what he achieved. He had that trilogy with Deontay Wilder, who was an absolutely sensational battle with three fights. He came back when no one thought he could and became a world champion.
“There’s nothing to prove to him.”
