“He Couldn’t Even Pull Himself Off”- Tyson Fury Vows to Beat ‘Muscle-Bound’ Anthony Joshua

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has constantly claimed that he will beat Anthony Joshua when they collide inside the ring. While the showdown seems to be locked in for August, an official confirmation is still to be made.

However, that hasn’t influenced Fury’s opinion over the fight. The undefeated heavyweight champion is currently undergoing an active fight camp in Las Vegas, thus readying himself to go for undisputed glory.

While some fans and analysts have given a fair chance to Anthony Joshua in the mix, Fury doesn’t see his Brit rival as a threat. ‘The Gypsy King’, who interacted with FightHype.com, launched a fresh verbal attack on ‘AJ’.

Previewing their upcoming fight, Tyson Fury said, “Joshua can’t pull his sh** off, he couldn’t even pull himself off. He is on rookie numbers. I hear he is on once a day, when he gets it back up to seven times a day, then come and see me. Until then, shut the hell up.”

He has also vowed to stop Anthony Joshua inside the ring, the same thing Andy Ruiz Jr. did in 2019. Moreover, Fury also seemed to mock Anthony Joshua’s well-built physique.

The undefeated boxer added, “Either way, if that Joshua fight happens, it doesn’t go to the distance, he gets knocked out. He is no good to me. None of these fighters are. He is too slow, he is too muscle-bound. He works on too much weight lifting and not enough speed.”

Does Anthony Joshua have a chance against Tyson Fury?

Looking at the past records, Tyson Fury is undoubtedly the favorite over Anthony Joshua. Their in-ring styles also cite an advantage to the WBC champion. However, boxing is an unpredictable sport, and Joshua has always overpowered his adversaries.

‘AJ’, 24-1, is a 2x unified heavyweight champion, who has walked over a treacherous division to attain his championship stature. While he is technically sound and also a hard-hitter, we can see him land an upset in the fight night.
