Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua ‘makes all the sense in the world’ whether they win or lose their next fights, says Top Rank president…

A blockbuster heavyweight fight between great rivals Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury can still happen ‘no matter what’; Joshua fights Daniel Dubois first with Fury to rematch Oleksandr Usyk in December; Watch Joshua vs Dubois on September 21 live on Sky Sports Box Office

Fabio Wardley VS Anthony Joshua AND Daniel Dubois

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have circled one another through much of their professional careers.

They have each won multiple world championships, belts which both of them have now lost and will fight to reclaim.

Joshua boxes Britain’s Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on September 21, live on Sky Sports Box Office, while Tyson Fury will try to win back the WBO, WBA and WBC belts in his December rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

But eventually the paths of Fury and Joshua, two great heavyweight rivals, could still intersect, even if they don’t necessarily win their next fights.

“I always felt that AJ and Tyson would fight at some point. At some point. Win, lose or whatever,” Todd DuBoef, president of Fury’s US promoters Top Rank, told Sky Sports.

 

“It’s like Batman and Robin. They go together. I just feel like at some point they’re going to fight regardless of what their body of work is, regardless of how they come out of fights.

Oleksandr Usyk AND Tyson Fury VS Daniel Dubois

“I think they both have great fanbases, they both come from a wonderful country with history.

“We’ve had this wonderful heavyweight renaissance, the UK being the epicentre of it, so I’ve always felt like they’ll fight at some point.”

That is just his instinct. Fury and Joshua themselves are focused on their immediate challenges against Usyk and Dubois respectively.

But it also comes from his reading of boxing history. Fights between fierce rivals, who have similar statures in the sport, can be a long time in the making. But they tend to get made in the end.

“I think there’s a lot of bragging rights and they’ve had a rivalry for 15 years or whatever it is and I don’t think it ever goes away,” DuBoef said of Fury and Joshua.

“Mayweather-Pacquiao eventually happened. There were rivalries for 10 years and eventually they happened. I just think it makes sense at one point.

“You see history, you see how things happen,” he continued. “I think timing is everything.

“At some point I think they lock it up and they get in the ring together. It makes all the sense in the world.

“I can see it happening no matter what.”

‘I’ve Sparred Tyson Fury, But Anthony Joshua Hits So Hard it Scares Me’…

By
Tyson Fury, VS Anthony Joshua AND Billy Joe Saunders

Anthony Joshua is hitting as hard as ‘a car crashing at 100mph’ ahead of his fight with Daniel Dubois later this month. That’s according to former super-middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders, who recently watched ‘AJ’ in training.

JUST IN: Daniel Dubois Gives Honest Verdict On Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk Rematch And Facing The Winner…

Oleksandr Usyk AND Tyson Fury VS Daniel Dubois

Saunders knows plenty about elite heavyweights, having worked alongside his pal Tyson Fury on multiple occasions, and he predicts that Dubois could be in for a tough night at Wembley Stadium on the 21st of September.

Since dropping a pair of decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua has put together a four-fight win streak that has seen him defeat the likes of Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis NGannou. All those wins have come under the guidance of Saunders’ former trainer Ben Davison and Billy Joe couldn’t hide how impressed he was with the Watford-born heavyweight while speaking to Box Nation.

Billy Joe Saunders on Anthony Joshua’s ‘Scary, Scary Power’

Ex-world champion claims there is ‘no way’ that the fight with Dubois goes the distance

“I watched AJ recently up close training in the Ben Davison camp, I pop in there now and then just to have a look,” said Saunders. “Watching AJ, it seems to me that he has a new lease of life. He seems like he’s reborn again, he’s believing.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

“He’s going to be a very, very dangerous opponent for anybody in the heavyweight division, in my opinion. Up close, watching him throw a right hand it was scary, scary power it’s like a car doing 100mph into a wall. He’s hitting the pads with so much force.”

Saunders sees no possible way that the Wembley Stadium showdown goes the distance and suggested that an error-prone Dubois may struggle to keep up with his more seasoned opponent.

Anthony Joshua & Daniel Dubois’ pro boxing records (as of 06/09/24)
Anthony Joshua Daniel Dubois
Fights 31 23
Wins 28 21
Losses 3 2

 

“Someone’s getting knocked out, it definitely ain’t going the distance, someone’s definitely getting knocked out. With all due respect to Dubois, who is a dangerous guy, he makes mistakes and he is not a difficult fighter to work out. What he does have – he’s very strong and he can punch and he’s physically a problem. But he makes a lot of mistakes.”

Joshua knows that there is no room for slip ups as he challenges Dubois. Defeat would almost certainly end all hope of a crack at redemption against Usyk or of the long-awaited all-British showdown with Tyson Fury.

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury

Saunders believes that ‘AJ’ recognises the importance of a dominant victory and has predicted that he will get the job done and move on to some career-defining bouts next year.

“I think the momentum from an AJ win in style would take him into a massive 2025 which funnily enough could be the defining moment of his career.” Anything other than a Joshua win will likely leave him with a lot of thinking to do about his future. However, if he is successful in eye-catching fashion, then the heavyweight division will – once again – be one of the most exciting weight classes in all of boxing.

Daniel Dubois’ warning for unified champion Oleksandr Usyk: ‘There is definitely unfinished business’…

By
Daniel Dubois VS Oleksandr Usyk

Daniel Dubois has a message for Oleksandr Usyk if the unified heavyweight king is seriously considering an eventual drop back down to cruiserweight: We have unfinished business first.

JUST IN: Tyson Fury Can Beat Oleksandr Usyk If He Follows Billy Joe Saunders’s Plan…

It’s been a year since Dubois was stopped by the Ukrainian in the ninth round of their world title showdown in Wroclaw in controversial circumstances, but the 26-year-old has since rebounded with TKOs of his own against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

A blockbuster clash with Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium on September 21, live on Sky Sports Box Office, is rapidly approaching too, where the winner would likely be on course to face whoever comes out on top in Usyk’s December rematch with Tyson Fury.

Usyk had previously floated the idea of dropping back down a division to reclaim undisputed status at the 14-stone limit, but Dubois is determined to make amends against the 2012 Olympics gold medallist after he faces Joshua.

“I need to go in there and right that wrong,” Dubois told Sky Sports.

“There is definitely unfinished business with me and Usyk, and that’s part of my rise. I was in a dark place before and I’m coming into the light, so I need to get that back.

“He was at cruiserweight before and I’m sure he could come back up, but let’s see how the future plays out.”

Added into the mix is the fact Dubois now holds the IBF belt which Usyk relinquished in June, ending his reign as the first undisputed heavyweight champion for a quarter of a century after barely a month.

That saw Dubois upgraded to the sanctioning body’s world champion, having earned interim status with his eighth-round stoppage of Hrgovic in Saudi Arabia at the start of June.

Lennox Lewis VS Tyson Fury

The vagaries of boxing politics are of little concern to the Greenwich fighter, but it did mean that at the time of his clash with former unified world champion Joshua being announced, he was still not in possession of the actual belt.

“We’re waiting – where is it?!” Dubois said with a laugh. “But hopefully I’ll get it.

“But you know what? That’s how Lennox Lewis became champion, and it’s happened before in the past in boxing history.

“Just to get your name up there as world champion is a great feeling.

“I wish I had it on the night, the IBF world title belt, but it’s all good.”

The victory over Hrgovic was something of a statement win for Dubois as well, particularly given the criticism he received over the manner of his defeat to Usyk.

The encouragement from ringside of his father as well as trainer Don Charles helped spur him on that night in Riyadh and he is taking one big lesson from that contest into his fight against Joshua.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

“It was to just keep digging deep,” Dubois said. “Like my dad was saying from outside the ring, ‘don’t wait, don’t wait!’.

“Once I start throwing at them, they have to defend. The best form of defence is attack, so I learnt from that fight to attack and attack and keep going.

“It’s massive [having dad ringside]. You just need that, to kick you up the backside and get on with it!

“I started off a bit shaky, but I got into it once the rhythm went. I felt the vibe and I had the right people in my corner, so it was great.”

Now back boxing on home turf in London as a defending world champion, Dubois is under no illusions about what is at stake.

He knows victory over Joshua would open up the possibility of adding more world title belts to his collection, and maybe even the chance to put right what he felt went wrong against Usyk.

“It puts me at the top of the tree now [if I beat Joshua],” Dubois said. “It does make me the king, for sure.”

Former Former Anthony Joshua Trainer Robert Garcia Has No Doubt Who Wins AJ vs Tyson Fury…

Robert Garcia VS Tyson Fury

Coach Robert Garcia has looked forward to an all-British banger between former charge Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

JUST IN: Daniel Dubois Gives Honest Verdict On Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk Rematch And Facing The Winner…

Garcia is a decorated coach who has worked with many world champions including Mikey Garcia, Nonito Donaire, Brandon Ríos and Marcos Maidana. He currently corners pound-for-pound star Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez.

Anthony Joshua VS Robert Garcia

Because of his many years of experience with talented fighters, he was brought in by Joshua after the Brit lost his first fight with Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and was looking to correct mistakes and exact revenge in the rematch in 2022.

It didn’t work out like that and Joshua again lost on points over 12 rounds, despite a more competitive showing. He separated from Garcia and linked up with Derrick James.

SEE MORE: Tyson Fury Has Watched Mike Tyson Train For Jake Paul And Now Delivers His Verdict On The Fight…

After a couple of fights with James, Joshua hooked up with former Fury coach Ben Davison, who oversaw his last stoppage wins over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou and is now guiding him through camp ahead of his IBF world title shot with Daniel Dubois on September 21.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

Should Joshua come through that, and if Fury wins his rematch with Usyk having lost their first fight for undisputed in May, the two British big men could come together in the ring next year.

Speaking to ESNEWS, Garcia was asked how he thinks his former fighter would fare against Fury should it happen, predicting a big finish.

“I think Joshua knocks him out.”

Although both winning would potentially set up an undisputed bout, Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh has recently stated that he wants to make AJ-Fury regardless of ‘The Gypsy King’s result against Usyk in the rematch.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY AND Daniel Dubois

Daniel Dubois could be on course to meet the winner of the upcoming Oleksandr Usyk versus Tyson Fury fight.

JUST IN: Tyson Fury Can Beat Oleksandr Usyk If He Follows Billy Joe Saunders’s Plan…

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

Dubois is in fine form right now as he heads into his first IBF world title defence against fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. His last two fights have been the best of his career after losses to Joe Joyce and Usyk rather set him back.

The first of his most recent wins saw him stop supersized American contender Jarrell Miller in the dying seconds of the 10th and final round back in December, while in June he stopped the big-hitting Fillip Hrgovic via cuts.

It was only a year ago that Dubois lost in his first world title tilt when he took on Usyk. Despite some success, he eventually succumbed to a right hand in the ninth round which led him to missing the count.

Speaking to Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, Dubois was asked who he thought would win the Usyk-Fury rematch which takes place in December after the Ukrainian won the first fight to become undisputed in May.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY AND ANTHONY JOSHUA

“I hope Fury does it, I hope Fury wins. Usyk’s a good fighter though, yeah, we’ll see. Usyk has definitely proven himself.”

It was then put to him that he could meet Usyk for a rematch of his own should he beat Joshua.

“Maybe yeah, definitely, come through this one. One fight at a time though.”

Frank Warren VS Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk

After his Miller win, Dubois had called for the top three to face him.

“All the big names. I’m coming for them. AJ, the rematch with Usyk, Fury, all of them. I’ve gained loads of experience.”

Dubois has his first wish granted – he faces Joshua on September 21 at Wembley Stadium in the first defence of his world title.

Potential Tyson Fury/Anthony Joshua fight will court ‘huge’ offers…

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY AND ANTHONY JOSHUA

Anticipation for the all-British clash is probably at an all-time low, but money is still there to be made

It’s just a few short years ago that a meeting between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would have been the biggest heavyweight fight to ever take place.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY

JUST IN: Tyson Fury Has Watched Mike Tyson Train For Jake Paul And Now Delivers His Verdict On The Fight…

Arguably Britain’s two best ever fighters in the division going against each other at the peak of their powers.

Alas, as is always the case in professional boxing, the two parties couldn’t come to an agreement and fans were left wanting.

Both Fury and Joshua went their separate ways. Joshua took on Oleksandr Usyk and lost his heavyweight title whilst the Gypsy King fought Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora, much to the chagrin of boxing fans.

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder VS Tyson Fury

Then Fury embarked on a money-spinning bout with Francis Ngannou before losing his own heavyweight belts to Usyk in a unification matchup.

Many are awaiting a rematch with Usyk at this stage, however plans for a Fury/Joshua match are now also in the works.

Is it a fight coming too late?

Joshua, to his credit, has bounced back from two successive defeats to Usyk and has brought back some of his notorious knockout power, laying Francis Ngannou out in sensational fashion.

His next opponent is fellow British heavyweig

ht, Daniel Dubois, who perhaps came closest to defeating Usyk since he became the champion, dropping the Ukrainian with a perfect body shot, only for the referee to judge it to be a low-blow.

Yet, plans are in motion to have Fury meet Joshua in Saudi Arabia, and whilst boxing fans are being cheated out of a matchup between the two in their prime, there is still a lot of money on offer.

Saudi Arabia’s move into boxing has vastly increased the money on offer for fighters at the very top of the sport, and whilst it is true that the influence of this state-funded enterprise has brought more boxers to face their rivals at the right time, it also makes events seem bigger than they actually are.

Joshua and Fury would be one such instance. Nobody is really interested anymore, unless Joshua defeats Dubois comfortably and Fury can reclaim all the heavyweight belts in Riyadh in December when he takes on Usyk in a rematch.

Anthony Joshua Names The Heavyweight Who Beats Everyone Including Oleksandr Usyk: “I’d Pick Him”…

By
OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

Anthony Joshua is preparing for one of the biggest fights of his career later this month.

Having risen to the very top of the heavyweight division in quick fashion early on in his career, Joshua has had a number of ups and downs since.

Tyson Fury VS Mike Tyson

JUST IN: Oleksandr Usyk Finally Names Who Will Win Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua Fight After Facing Both…

He became a world title holder in 2016 and made successful defences against the likes of Dominic Breazeale, Alexandr Povetkin and Carlos Takam, unified against Wladimir Klitschko and Joseph Parker, then came unstuck against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 out in New York.

Otto Wallin vs Tyson Fury

He avenged that loss later the same year but again lost his WBA, WBO and IBF belts on points over 12 rounds when taking on Oleksandr Uysk. The rematch went the same way in 2022 and since then Joshua has been rebuilding with four solid wins over Jermaine Franklin, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius and most recently a devastating knockout of Francis Ngannou back in March.

He now faces current IBF champion Daniel Dubois on September 21 for his chance to come a three-time world champion.

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury

Ahead of that he has spoken to DAZN Boxing and played the winner stays on game.

It finds him picking Muhammad Ali over all of the proposed contemporary opponents including himself, Dubois, Fury, Usyk and legends like Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.

After winning gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Ali turned pro and beat the likes of Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Earnie Shavers over his 61-fight campaign. The former undisputed heavyweight champion was known as ‘The Greatest’ and left his mark not just on boxing but on history and politics.

Prince Naseem Hamed VS Tyson Fury

Prince Naseem Hamed believes Tyson Fury is capable of avenging his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk and insists the two-time heavyweight world champion deserves more credit.

JUST IN: Oleksandr Usyk Finally Names Who Will Win Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua Fight After Facing Both…

Fury will get the chance at revenge over Usyk when the pair meet again on December 21 in Saudi Arabia, seven months on from their first meeting which the Ukrainian won by split decision to claim the undisputed heavyweight championship.

Former world champion, Hamed has blasted critics of ‘The Gypsy King’ and feels his whole career is being overlooked after suffering what was a maiden professional defeat.

FRANK BRUNO VS TYSON FURY

“Fury-Usyk, it’s gonna be a good fight,” the 50-year-old told IFLTV.

“I would love to see Tyson Fury step up to the plate in a way that he’s never ever done and bring all them belts back home.

“Nothing will make me happier than seeing that.

“I’ve always said why’s everybody just talking about his last fight?

“Why weren’t they talking about Tyson when he went and smashed up Wilder when nobody could do it.

“When Anthony Joshua wouldn’t fight him, why are we not talking about that?

“Why is everybody forgetting he demolished everybody in that division for all them years?

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

“Why are you only talking about Tyson Fury right now after this last fight?

“How can you take everything away what he’s done in the sport and base it on his last fight?”

Fury endured a disastrous and fight-altering ninth round and was given a standing eight count from the referee, after stumbling into the ropes, as a result of a barrage of punishing blows.

The 36-year-old will not have the opportunity to become undisputed champion on December 21, after Usyk relinquished the IBF crown, with Daniel Dubois elevated to full champion and defending that belt on September 21 against Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.

Hamed feels ‘The Gypsy King’ can reverse the result on December 21 and repeat the moments of success he had, in the rematch.

“He could [win the rematch] cause look, I seen him hitting Usyk with some serious uppercuts and hurting him and can hurt him so I feel he can.

“We got a lot of love for the Furys.

“He’s named his son [Prince], he’s said, after me.

“That means the world to me.”

Tyson Fury AND Oleksandr Usyk

Oleksandr Usyk is one of the few men with a real insight into what it’s like to fight Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

JUST IN: “Carl Froch Punching Air rn”: Set to Break Tyson Fury’s Record, Anthony Joshua Receives Major Boost from HE Turki Alalshikh and Fans Are All for It…

OLEKSANdr usyk VS TYSON FURY AND ANTHONY JOSHUA

He first came up against Joshua back in 2021 as a big underdog at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It was a close 12-round fight that he ultimately won on points.

He repeated the feat in 2022 when the two met for a rematch out in Saudi Arabia, this time surviving heavy shots late on from AJ to once again take a decision on the scorecards. The Brit struggled to accept defeat in the ring afterwards but over the course of the next year or so got back to winning ways including with three stoppage victories.

They have led him to a fight with IBF ruler Daniel Dubois in September when he will attempt to become a world champion for the third time.

SEE MORE: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 – Carl Froch makes huge retirement claim regarding heavyweight rematch…

It was back in May that Usyk put his three world titles on the line against Fury, the then WBC champion. Once again the fight went the full 12 rounds and was a close contest with the Ukrainian just edging it come the final bell. That victory made him the undisputed heavyweight king, the first time anyone had held that honour since Lennox Lewis more than two decades ago.

Now Usyk must rematch Fury in December. Should he lose and Joshua win, there has been much speculation that ‘The Gypsy King’ and AJ could finally come to blows in the ring next year.

Otto Wallin vs Tyson Fury

Boxing King Media asked the Ukrainian who he thought would win that fight should it happen and he went with the man in form.

 

“I guess Anthony, ‘AJ’. I guess ‘AJ’.”

Otto Wallin is another man who has faced both Brits and he recently sided with Fury.

It might be the fight of the year, and it has everything to offer. Two British heavyweights dance around the ring to score a knockout and secure a golden ticket to fight for the undisputed title next. What’s better than actually putting on such a show before their home crowd, too? So, the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight is the hype, and the fans are looking forward to some fireworks and some heavy blows, as they fight it out for the biggest prize of their careers. And it seems it might also surpass what Tyson Fury pulled off two years ago.

OLEKSANdr usyk VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

Joshua, 34, and Dubois, 26, will clash at Wembley Stadium on September 21 for the IBF heavyweight title and the massive Riyadh card has already swayed the fans. The developments are under process to accommodate as many fans as possible, as HE Turki Alalshikh has requested some additions to the iconic arena.

Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois set on course to shatter some records

TalkSports’ Michael Benson turned to his X handle and revealed the Joshua vs. Dubois fight could break the current attendance record at Wembley Stadium. Previously, Fury had gone up against Dillian Whyte in 2022 and attracted a crowd of 94,000, the largest ever for a combat event in the UK. He wrote, “Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois could break the British boxing attendance record at Wembley Stadium on Sept 21st as His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has said they’ve now applied to extend the capacity with the aim of surpassing the 94,000 who attended Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte.”

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov

Interestingly, HE Turki Alalshikh, in a recent post on X, admitted to pleading with authorities to extend the capacity of Wembley and also hoped to pull up the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. Whether that comes true or not will depend on how the fans perceive the fight, and it seems they are swayed by it.

Fans rally behind ‘AJ’

One fan called Joshua, the one-third face of boxing, and demanded respect for the British fighter. They declared, “Anthony Joshua is 1/3 face’s of boxing! Put some respect on his name.” While Canelo Alvarez lays claim to the current face of boxing, the other part half is clearly Gervonta Davis.

Canelo Alvarez

A user criticized ‘AJ’ for cherrypicking an opponent and believed the last worthy opponent he faced was Oleksandr Usyk. Predicting a knockout, they argued, “The last good opponent Joshua had was Usyk smh AJ stops Dubois in 7.” Interestingly, after suffering a defeat from the Ukrainian fighter for a second time in 2022, Joshua is on an exciting 4-0 run.

Froch and Joshua were Olympic teammates but have since lost their close bond. Joshua recently called Froch a “p****y” in an interview and Froch went on to leak their WhatsApp DMs as well. Someone referenced the recent beef between Carl Froch and Joshua, at 28-3. They announced, “Carl froch punching air rn.” The comment was also in reference to Carl Froch’s long-standing record of 80,000 spectators at Wembley which he held in 2014 in a fight against George Groves, which has since been broken multiple times by both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA AND FRANCIS NGANNOU

A comment denied accepting anything from HE Turki Alalshikh. The comment read, “We don’t believe nothing turki says about a sell out 😂😂.” The comment could be a jibe at Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov, where the Saudi adviser claimed to be selling out the arena, but later some contested that promoters distributed free tickets to fill the arena.

Lastly, one fan threw shade on Joshua’s opponent and praised AJ for his popularity and for carrying on promotional duties. They insisted, “AJ be carrying these unmarketable boxers on his back 😂.” Joshua has sold over 1 million PPV buys in his fights with Andy Ruiz and Wladimir Klitschko. He also sold almost 700,000 PPVs when he fought Francis Ngannou earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether he can replicate similar success when he fights Dubois.
