Tyson Fury has reacted to Anthony Joshua saying he is ‘carrying the heavyweight division’ – and it’s fair to say he has a different opinion.
After he knocked out Robert Helenius in August, Joshua took to the mic and said his back was sore from carrying boxing’s blue-ribbon division – likely a nod to him having two fights under his belt this year when the champions, Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, hadn’t fought.
Speaking to Daily Mail Boxing, Fury, who is still undefeated after 34 fights and is the current WBC and lineal champion, reacted to Joshua’s claims and says he is no longer interested in the all-British blockbuster.
As for Joshua, he had look set for a showdown with Deontay Wilder, but after a deal from the Saudi Arabia’s Skill Challenge Entertainment was withdrawn that clash now looks unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Instead, he may be out in December or January.
