Ahead of their eagerly anticipated heavyweight bout, Tyson Fury has taken another jab at Anthony Joshua, saying he will stop his fellow Brit because “he does not have any chin.”
One of the fiercest rivalries in British boxing was finally resolved last month when the two former world champions reached an agreement. The bout is scheduled for either October or November. The most likely location is turning out to be Wembley Stadium.
Fury claimed in an interview with FurociTV that Joshua couldn’t handle the pressure or strength he intends to bring into the ring.
“I’ll definitely knock him out. He won’t be able to withstand me. He doesn’t have a chin, and since I am faster and a better boxer than him, I will hit him on it,” Fury declared.
Additionally, Fury used Daniel Dubois’s recent bouts as evidence that Joshua’s punch resistance is not as strong as people think. Fury claims that among Dubois’s most recent opponents, Joshua was the only fighter to be frequently dropped.
Usyk, “Big Baby” Miller, Hrgovic, Joshua, and Wardley have been Daniel Dubois’s last five opponents. And he consistently struck each of those five individuals in the jaw. Joshua was the only sucker to lose five times or even once, according to Fury.
He struck Usyk squarely in the jaw, without going over. Wardley is the same. The entire time, “Big Baby” Miller was under intense strain. did not fall once, and Hrgovic did as well. Joshua was the only one who was knocked unconscious and knocked down five times. I will thus return him to his proper place. “Bambi on ice.”
After changing his mind about retiring, Fury made a comeback in April and easily defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to earn a point. Then, as his opponent watched from ringside, he called out Joshua in front of the crowd.
Before the official battle with Fury, Joshua still needs to take care of some business. against July 25, the former heavyweight champion is scheduled to take against Kristian Prenga in what is anticipated to be his last warm-up match in Riyadh.
Joshua will make his first appearance since defeating Jake Paul via stoppage in December. Eddie Hearn, the promoter, has already cautioned against undervaluing Prenga, acknowledging that Joshua still needs to work through recent events in his career before giving his finest performances once more.
Additionally, Prenga has rejected claims that the bout with Fury is already assured.
“Everyone is discussing Joshua vs. Fury as though it’s merely a formality, which is a very risky way of thinking in heavyweight boxing. In this division, a single blow can alter everything, according to Prenga.
“I am coming to win the battle, not for a paycheck or a photo opportunity. Financially, professionally, and historically, a victory transforms everything.
