Tyson Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion, has stressed that there is no animosity between himself and Anthony Joshua, and even suggested the idea of sharing a meal with his rival as a gesture of goodwill.
The long-awaited clash between these two boxing titans has been eagerly anticipated for years.
Joshua has mentioned that he will use Fury’s years of taunting and trash talk as motivation in their potential bout.
Tyson Fury has admitted to calling Anthony Joshua out randomly and boasting about knocking him out in the past. Despite this, the verbal sparring between the two fighters has continued.
However, Fury has downplayed any notion of a feud with the British-Nigerian fighter, stating, “So what if I called him a sausage? Has he ever made any personal attacks against me, or vice versa?”
In a hypothetical scenario,Tyson Fury remarked, “If he were here right now, we could grab a drink or have a simple meal together. I’d even invite him to meet my kids and snap a photo. Is there truly animosity between two boxers? Let’s be realistic.”
On The Jonathan Ross Show, Joshua emphasized, “He’s one of my rivals, someone I aim to compete with someday. Every word he utters, I store it away, ready to use as motivation when the time comes.”
Having secured four consecutive victories, including a recent knockout of MMA star Francis Ngannou in March, the 34-year-old Fury remains in impressive form.
Although Ngannou had previously caused Fury trouble in their boxing debut in October, Fury ultimately won a contentious split decision.
