The current heavyweight division of boxing is filled with paramount talent and extremely intimidating big men. But out of all, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder have made a different place for themselves. They are the top-notch technicians in the most decorated division. Moreover, as the trio shares a colossal rivalry, they wish to confront each other before hanging up their gloves from the sport.
Recently, the unified heavyweight king, Joshua, unveiled some fiery words for both of his rivals.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, “Fury? Wilder? Bring them both. I’m not taking sides. They’re both enemies of mine and I wanna slay them both with the same energy. Good luck to both, whichever one wins, I’ll be seeing them soon.” (h/t Michael Benson)
