Why isn't Anthony Joshua fighting any top contenders

Joshua is flawed, but saying an amateur world silver medallist, Olympic gold medalist, and unified HW champ is "not a real fighter" sets the bar pretty high.

 

He isn't a real poster

 

Hes mentally fragile

 

Uh, his friends were beheaded in front of him, and he was badly injured.

I believe that he will be back in the thick of things one last time, preferably against Fury.

 

Oh he'll keep fighting, but he'll be handled more carefully than the Hope diamond.

 

Don't be that guy................

original question: Because he's probably at the end of his career. There's not much else for him to do and he simply isn't gonna win another belt. Aside from Usyk, there are too many other guys standing in the way at the top that he would not be favored against (including one that absolutely melted him already).

 

Other than Usyk, everyone's had a quiet decade.

 

Joshua is unranked without a good win over a ranked opponent in years. So why would anyone care about fighting Fury at this stage? What does the fight mean given his recent form?

 

It would make alot of money on the UK

It'll be sold on previous exploits and bragging rights etc

I absolutely assure you this fight does huge numbers still

 

If eubank jnr v Benn put bums on seats this would be much bigger.

 

After his recent loss it's not even certain he'll come back to boxing. I don't blame him, he's had a decent career and that's coming from a critic.
