Anthony Joshua Could Tempt Tyson Fury Out of Retirement – Boxing Coach Claims

Deontay Wilder’s coach, Malik Scott, believes Anthony Joshua is the one fighter who could bring Tyson Fury back from retirement.

Fury announced his retirement from boxing in December after losing for the second time to Oleksandr Usyk. But many are not convinced he’s done for good, as the former WBC heavyweight champion has made similar announcements in the past, only to return to the ring.

If Fury really stays retired this time, the long-awaited all-British showdown with Joshua may never happen.

Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Scott said now is the perfect moment to finally make the fight between Fury and Joshua happen.

“He’s retired how many times now? If he’s going to come back and fight, I personally believe it will be against AJ,” Scott said. “I believe this is the time.”

Scott made the comments while preparing to be in the corner for Ezra Taylor’s light heavyweight fight against Troy Jones on Saturday night.
