“There Is No Competition”: Anthony Joshua Doesn’t Consider Tyson Fury a Threat to This Title

Following the unprecedented collapse of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk, former two-time unified Heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua declared his willingness to square off against ‘The Gypsy King’. Joshua, who believes rankings are important, wants to fight the big names, one of them being Tyson Fury. Ahead of his upcoming fight against Jermaine Franklin on the 1st of April, Joshua announced “the only competition” he needed against Fury was in the ring.

Fury, who might be looking forward to closing up shop in Teddy Atlas’s words, is in Anthony Joshua’s opinion the people’s champion. In the sense of the phrase ‘the people’s champion’, provided what Joshua has already done with marketing and PR, he feels there is no competition between him and ‘The Gypsy King’. However, ‘AJ’ revealed the crucial need to face Tyson Fury in the ring in order to remain talk-worthy in Heavyweight boxing.

No competition for the title of ‘people’s champion’ between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Joshua branded himself and Fury as people’s champions. According to the former unified Heavyweight champion, there cannot be a competition between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua for the title of people’s champion. “He is a people’s champion, I’m a people’s champion, there is no competition in that sense“, as reported by the Independent, he declared saying. While on the topic, Joshua even reminded his contribution to the category as far as marketing and PR were concerned. “I understood the concept of marketing and PR and it shows in the figures right?” he added.

However, Joshua thinks the competition remains in the ring. “The only competition I need to have with him is in the ring”, thus he said. Although he lacks certainty, Joshua hopes to face Tyson Fury. He even commented on the 70/30 split that Fury offered to Usyk. While Joshua showed concern for what Fury would potentially offer him, he pinned his faith against his management and promotional company. Thus, Joshua ended his interview with the hope that his team will “negotiate fiercely”.
