Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) talked about a possible fight against WBC belt holder compatriot Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).
He beat his mandatory British challenger Dillian Whyte in April, after which he announced his retirement. Considering that Fury did not refuse the belt, fans, experts and colleagues in the ring assume that the champion will have at least one more fight.
With a high degree of probability, this will be a duel with the owner of the remaining belts of the division, which will be determined on August 20 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) – Joshua will try to close his September home defeat to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) in a rematch.
“If Fury keeps his word and returns to boxing, then for what? Naturally, for the sake of money. It’s no secret that a lot of money will be at stake. You can say whatever you want, but money is important, because it gives you the opportunity to help so many people, ”
Joshua talkswho recently learned from Vladimir Klitschko how to help Ukraine, which was subjected to a criminal attack by Russia.
“As for me, retirement does not mean that you have given up and will sit on the seashore until the end of your days, listen to the sound of the surf and drink beer. I think he will come back if he is offered the right fight,” Joshua suspects.
Meanwhile, ex-coach Fury told the fans: You misunderstood, Tyson really ended his career. Former unified heavyweight champion Mexican-American Andy Ruiz talked about how Joshua could beat Usyk in a rematch.
