Many believe that WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) could be tempted to end his retirement by facing his British rival Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) if he beats Oleksandr Usyk (19 -0, 13 KOs) in a rematch on August 20 and will regain the rest of the division titles.
Fury, on the other hand, believes that there will be no such fight, because the Ukrainian will again defeat his compatriot.
“I think Usyk is too good a boxer for AJ, and I don’t think Anthony has the ability to put pressure on him for 12 rounds, drag him into a fight to knock him out,” he said.
The Telegraph.
According to Tyson, Joshua has a psychological problem: he allegedly agrees to “take second place” too easily.
“And if you voluntarily agree to second place, then you don’t need to say anything more,” Fury said.
