Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been on a collision course since Fury triumphed against American boxer, Deontay Wilder. Former Boxer Paulie Malignaggi seems to be in favor of the Gypsy King if the British showdown is ever to take place.
Fury and Joshua together hold all four heavyweight titles between the two of them. Therefore a fight between the two would certainly decide who the real king of world heavyweight boxing is.
The fight between the two British giants will potentially take place in December. Considering both fighters manage to come out of their next fights unscathed. However, the Coronavirus pandemic might prove to be an obstacle as it has been casting a shadow on all sporting events all across the world.
“I think Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, so I think Fury [would beat Joshua]; I’d love to see it, I think Fury is more technically gifted, he’s a six feet nine guy who moves around like an athlete, it’s very difficult. If you talk boxing with him, he’s a very intelligent guy; he understands what he has to do and has not got to do, what he is and what he isn’t.”- Paulie Malignaggi on Tyson Fury
Recently, defeating Wilder was his second attempt at the title after having dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
“He’s very, very nimble and it’s hard to catch up to him. And when you do you’re like a midget compared to him. You can’t be rough with him because he’s too big and strong. He’s a difficult guy to deal with. He can go in against the next top guy and perform well right away. He did it in the Klitschko fight, then he disappeared.”- Paulie Malignaggi on Tyson Fury
What is in Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s Immediate Future?
Both Fury and Joshua are looking to defend their titles against Deontay Wilder and Kubrat Pulev respectively. Fury will reportedly be taking on Wilder for the final installment of their trilogy at the MGM Grand. The fight will take place sometime in July.
Similarly, Anthony Joshua is preparing to take on Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 20th of June.
However, amidst the raging Coronavirus pandemic, postponing the fight seems to be the most likely outcome. The fight between Joshua and Pulev is a mandatory defense that Joshua has to engage in.
