BOXING: Fury Will Defeat Anthony Joshua – Barry Jones

By

Former world super-featherweight champion Barry Jones has weighed in on the much-anticipated heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, tipping Fury as the clear favorite if the fight happens this year.

 

Speaking on the 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast, Jones highlighted Fury’s impressive performance against Oleksandr Usyk despite his recent loss and suggested the Gypsy King still has plenty to offer in the sport.

“Fury is a massive favourite but I think in general he was always a slight favourite [against Joshua],” Jones said.

“He’ll want the Joshua fight because he’s almost beaten every fighter of his generation. It might be a different Joshua, but it’s a different Fury.”

“I think to get Joshua on his record in years to come will show how good he is.”

Potential Venues and Stakes

While Jones predicts the fight will take place in a UK stadium, boxing expert Steve Bunce is skeptic about it. Both fighters are under immense pressure, with their legacies and pride on the line.

Bunce stated: “The loser has a massive amount to lose. Fury can lose to Usyk again no problem, Joshua can lose to Dubois again no problem. I just think this is a monumental fight.”

“The loser of that drops a lot of ground pride-wise.”

Recent Form of Both Fighters

Fury, 36, is coming off a points defeat to Usyk in December but has stated he has no intention of retiring.

Joshua, 35, suffered a stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois in an IBF world title fight last September, casting doubts over his ability to reclaim top status in the division.

With both fighters facing critical moments in their careers, a Fury-Joshua matchup could serve as a definitive test of their standing among the heavyweight elite.

Eddie Hearn maps out timeline for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury talks

By

Eddie Hearn has admitted it is not “time to start prodding” Tyson Fury over a potential fight with Anthony Joshua.

In December, Fury was outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in seven months, as the “Gypsy King” failed to take the unified heavyweight titles from the Ukrainian.

That result came three months after Joshua suffered a brutal knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in an IBF title bout, leaving “AJ” and Fury empty handed.

While Joshua, 35, versus Fury, 36, is not the fight it once was, the Britons may be on a collision course again, and Hearn was asked about the contest on Monday (6 January).

“It’s literally the fight that every casual fan in the UK wants,” Hearn told The Stomping Ground. “It’s the biggest fight in boxing commercially, and when people say it’s not… Tell me a bigger fight; there isn’t one.

“I don’t know if it’s gonna happen, there’s been no discussions. Fury’s just coming off that defeat, and at some point after his break, he’s gonna turn around and decide what he wants to do. If he wants to fight AJ, the fight happens immediately. We’ll see.

“I don’t think it’s the time to start prodding Tyson Fury. Don’t forget, he lost on 21 December, so give him a few weeks [to] chill out.

“Obviously you’ve got Dubois fighting [Joseph] Parker on 22 February, but sooner or later in the coming weeks, we will want to put a plan together for Anthony Joshua.

“That is when the conversation will come with Frank Warren [Fury’s promoter], Spencer Brown [Fury’s manager] and His Excellency [Saudi adviser Turki Al-Sheikh]. And we’ll say: ‘Look, we want to make AJ-Fury, what do you think?’

“AJ wants to become world heavyweight champion again, no doubt. He really wants to rematch Dubois, but he also understands the size of the Fury fight.”

After Joshua’s loss to Dubois, talk quickly turned to a rematch between the British pair, though Dubois is now eyeing a bout with Usyk – if he can get past Parker.

Dubois was stopped by Usyk in 2023, though there was controversy when the Briton dropped the southpaw with a punch that was ruled a low blow. Dubois later insisted the shot had been legal, but his appeal against his defeat was dismissed.

Fans react hilariously with memes as Anthony Joshua teases a 2025 Tyson Fury fight: ‘This Has to Happen!’

By

“I’m not sure, but that’s my target, 2025, I’m targeting Tyson Fury.”

There has been no official announcement, but Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, reportedly teased the fight in December 2024, saying:

“Has there been a better time? They’re both coming off defeats, both in the twilight of their careers.” He added, “One in Wembley, one in Riyadh – two fights in 2025.”

Both are in the twilight of their careers, lets hope Jake Paul isn’t listening. Since the fight was teased, Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury memes and reactions have filled the internet.

Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury memes and reactions

So, who is excited for Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury? The short answer is a very low population. Many are supporting the decision but most of the reactions are hilariously negative.

Ever since his loss against Daniel Dubois people have been wary of Joshua’s standing in the ring. However, don’t think for a second that this means that Fury is being favored as a winner; in fact, the opposite.

His multiple losses to Oleksandr Usyk have put doubts in the fans, who just think he should throw in his towel rather than drag his career.

The Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury memes and reactions are both sad and hilarious. The gist of most of the memes is that not everyone is on board with the fight and would rather see both the champions just give up and retire. What meme culture has done is given people different ways to say the same thing. Here are some hilarious reactions.

Former UFC title challenger slams Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua talk: ‘5 Years too late’

By

A matchup between Fury and Joshua has long alluded the boxing world for one reason or another. Many believe the typical boxing politics prevented the two from sharing the ring at the peak of their careers. Now that both men are without gold and have tasted defeat more than once, there is a belief that the fight could finally come to fruition.

The only problem is, some feel that the best chance to make the bout happen has come and gone and the interest level won’t be nearly as high as it could’ve been.

Darren Till Blasts Promoters for Botching Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua

With talk once again swirling of a potential clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, former UFC star Darren Till took to his ‘X’ account to unleash a rant on the fight not happening when it should have.

“5 years too late. No one is assed. Respect the fuck out of the both of you. But you and ur promoters wanted to play who’s got the biggest dick so the fight is just like yeh… we’ll watch it but we’re not fucking assed. Why on gods green earth didn’t use fight when use were both on tears years ago? It’s not the same now and that is why Dana is laughing again.

“Soon as the best reach the top they fight each other. Tyson and AJ have been fighting everyone but each other and that was the fight to make years ago at Wembley. But obvs that was back when both thought the other didn’t need the other and ur promoters were in the toilets measuring their dicks and their egos.

“Sorry to rant but I think a lot of people will agree… I actually feel like it’s an insult to the fanbase for us to give use hundreds of millions when really we should have got this fight years ago so yeh… fuck off AJ we’re not assed mate!”

If “The Gypsy King” and Joshua finally do battle in 2025, the fight is still expected to do big business despite the timing. The question is, how much interest will the fight garner at this point?
