Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua (AJ) vs Luke Tyson Fury(The Gypsy King) in 2024 or 2025

AJ in 3 rounds. AJ is all wrong for Fury. Every version of AJ beats Fury with ease.
Easiest fight style wise for AJ.

 

It'll sell but it's typical boxing now that they'd only fight when no belts are on the line. Same if AJ ends up fighting Wilder.

 

AJ.

 

Even before the Usyk fight i've always thought Joshua would be a big challenge for Fury, my issue was that i thought Joshua went off the deep end after the Ruiz fights, and he seemed to be mentally not all there and was fighting too passive and didn't seem know what boxing style he wanted to use. But now it seems Joshua has got his act together again and is fighting more aggressively and assertive like he used to do.

The way i see it is that i've always thought Fury's chin is a bit of a question mark, he's been down alot in fights some from big punchers like Wilder, Ngannou, but he's also been hurt and dropped by fighters that aren't considered punchers like Cunningham, Pajkic.

I think if a limited Wilder can drop Fury 4 times then a more skilled power puncher like Joshua with much more varied offence can catch Fury aswell. In all honestly i'd probably make Joshua a slight favourite over Fury who has alot more wear a tear.

 

Don't forget Joshua got beat up by Andy Ruiz.

I know....I know... Joshua was fighting with a stubbed toe and got a paper cut the week before.

The truth is, just about any top heavyweight has a punchers chance against any other HW.

Joshua vs Fury would be a great fight. I think Fury edges it but Joshua is definity capable of sparking out Fury if he connects.

It's a shame after all these years we still don't know who the best British HW is. The fight should be made before they are too old to matter.

 

Prior to AJs recent resurgence & both of them fighting Ngannou I would have always picked Fury

However, the Ngannou fights revealed a lot. AJ hits wayyyy harder than Fury, and AJ is probably a really bad stylistic match up for Fury when I previously thought it was the other way around

I now think AJ stops Fury

 

Ruiz was late replacement buddy. Very late on top of that. And AJ scored a KD and was caught on the temple concussed and couldn't recover, simple as that. He beat Ruiz 12-0.
That fight is irrelevant.

And AJ never make any excuse. Unlike your hero Fury, who literally lost to Ngannou, who AJ send into shadow realm in 2 rounds.

Fury has nothing on AJ, literally nothing. His dirty tactics won't work against AJ. He won't be favored by the judges against AJ. He can't clinch and hold for dear life against AJ as well.

Fury is wide open with that low guard, especially his body. Usyk find it all night with his left hand. Did you even see AJ fight against Wallin ?
You know what AJ will do to Fury body with that Right Hand? AJ is murderous puncher, but also elite boxer.
He is killing Fury. This won't be competitive at all.
Fury doesn't have the power to keep AJ honest, and he can't outbox AJ for 12 rounds as well. The first time AJ unload on Fury, and he is done for it.
This fight won't last more than 3-4 rounds, and this is for real.

 

Fury is not my hero. I am not a Brit. I have no emotional investment in either of them.

I still believe it was that hang nail that allowed Ruiz to batter around Joshua like a pinball. Took him off his game.

That fight IS relevant because it shows Joshua IS vulnerable. He also arguably quit in the loss to Ruiz which is VERY relevant.

Say what you want about Fury but there is no quit in him. Even when he's getting battered, he hangs in there and fights back.

I honestly think Joshua vs Fury could go either way.

It's a fight the World, but for sure Brits deserve to see. The question of who is the best British HW and the second best HW in the world should be answered.

 

If Fury is motivated, I'd go for Fury to win a UD.

Fury is a better boxer than AJ and has a better gas tank.

 

Ngannou revealed no more than Wallin

Fury doesn't train properly for smaller fights. He doesn't take them seriously as proven by Wilder 3, whyte, chisora etc.

He doesn't take them seriously. You'll only see Fury at 100% in bigger fights.

Judging Fury off Ngannou is like judging him against Wallin.

 

AJ, this fight needs to happen.
