Tyson Fury and boxing fans everywhere lamented another close call in the ongoing and fruitless quest for an all-British mega-fight between himself and Anthony Joshua, but there's still plenty to look forward to.
Most of the boxing world was left shocked by the brutal knockdown of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua by Daniel Dubois .Joshua lay stricken on the canvas following his brutal fifth-round knockout in his IBF world title fight, with Dubois exalting in his triumph in front of a record 98,128 crowd — the largest ever for a fight in the UK — at Wembley Stadium in London.
Tyson Fury believes a fight between himself and Anthony Joshua will not happen — or at least not be worth as much.It was an understandable reaction from a fan of the sport desperate to arrange one of the sport's most highly anticipated match-ups: An all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua. A boxer of immeasurable talent, Dubois has twice faced accusations of being not up to the brutal business of boxing.
He insisted after the fight that he would continue, while his promoter, Eddie Hearn said the prospect of a Fury fight was still available."Now we may end up fighting the loser of that fight if it's Fury."Usyk beat Fury by a split decision in May, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era in the process.
