Frank Warren Slams ‘Stupid Comments’ Regarding Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury: “Why Wouldn’t You Want That Fight?”

The biggest heavyweight fight of all time between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury failed to materialize after much rigmarole and discussions. Right from contracts to official signings and purses, everything pertaining to this matchup was set. However, Fury’s long-time rival, Deontay Wilder, poured cold water on Fury and Joshua’s teams’ efforts.

Recently, in an interview with Seconds Out, Frank Warren shed some light on the entire scenario. He said, “All this rubbish that’s going down about, you know ‘we didn’t really want it’. I mean what planet are people on to even come out with stupid comments like that?” 

“Why wouldn’t you want that fight? It’s just stupid. It’s just been handled, you know it’s just a mess, and it’s unfortunate. But it is where it is.”

In his above interview, Warren even admitted that this fight was financially in the interest of fighters, promoters, and everyone. That said, canning this fight didn’t work well in anyone’s favor.

Due to the court’s decision, Fury and Wilder will have to settle their trilogy bout by September 15, 2021. With that, even Joshua will have to honor his WBO mandatory defense against Oleksandr Usyk.

Until and unless both Joshua and Fury (30-0-1) get past their current hurdles, the probabilities of them fighting each other seem to be pretty slim.

When will the fans really get to see the heavy collision between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury?

If ‘AJ’ and ‘The Gypsy King’ get past their above-mentioned opponents, then their promoters can get together and seek to book a 12-round war towards the end of the year.

More than anyone else, both the British warriors are eager to face each other. And to do the same, they’ll go to limitless extents.

Joshua and Fury both carry enigmatic profiles. Hence, the fans are desperate to see this encounter settle who among the two is the flamboyant face of the heavyweights. That said, it’ll be interesting to see how both of them fare in their upcoming bouts.
