Tyson Fury: The Biggest Challenge Is Yet to Come
Despite his recent loss and the loss of his WBC title to Oleksandr Usyk, Fury remains motivated. In an interview with TNT Sport, he expressed his desire to face Anthony Joshua, stating that this fight “must happen” regardless of the circumstances.
“It would be a tragedy if we don’t fight. Even if Joshua loses 20 more fights, we have to fight. It doesn’t matter how many times he loses or if he retires for 10 years. This fight has to happen.”
Anthony Joshua, who has vowed to make a comeback after his recent defeat to Daniel Dubois, may finally be ready for this long-anticipated showdown. Could this be the fight that fans have been waiting for?
