Carl Froch Makes Emphatic Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Prediction: “His Soul Was Taken That Night”
A monumental domestic showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could yet still happen.
The British heavyweight greats have been on a collision course for the best part of ten years, but a bout between the pair is yet to come to fruition for a number of reasons, much to the disappointment of boxing fans around Great Britain.
Fury announced his retirement from the sport at the beginning of the year, just weeks after he was beaten by Ukrainian superstar and unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for a second time. Despite this, ‘The Gypsy King’ appears to have made a return to training, fuelling rumours of a comeback in the upcoming months.
Joshua has not fought since he was beaten by British rival Daniel Dubois last September, losing out on becoming world heavyweight champion for the third time against the reigning IBF champion, who is just two months away from facing Usyk in a bid to become Britain’s first undisputed heavyweight champion.
Former unified super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has weighed in on a potential showdown between Fury and Joshua on his own Youtube channel, claiming it would be an ‘easy win’ for ‘The Gypsy King’.
“AJ’s been flattened a few times, we’ve seen him lose against Andy Ruiz, he lost his soul that night and never regained it.
That’s a fight that I would probably say you know what, if you’re gonna come out of retirement, I know Anthony Joshua’s not retired, but if Fury’s gonna come out of retirement that makes sense for Fury, because for me, it’s a f—–g easy win, I’m not being horrible, Tyson Fury for me runs rings around Anthony Joshua, AJ’s got no confidence, he got flattened in his last fight and look at the form Anthony Joshua has been on, compared to the form that Tyson Fury has been on.”
Any official news of a showdown between the domestic heavyweight rivals is yet to be made, but with Fury back in camp and Joshua waiting for an opponent, boxing fans could finally get to see the pair lock horns this year after almost a decade of waiting.
