Anthony Joshua confirms he wants Tyson Fury fight in 2025
Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he wants to take on Tyson Fury in a Battle of Britain superfight in 2025.
For the longest time, there’s been talk of one fight taking place in heavyweight boxing above all others: Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. These two rivals have been tipped to square off on multiple occasions, but for one reason or the other, it’s never quite come to fruition.
Now, between them, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are 0-4 against Oleksandr Usyk. As Usyk looks ahead to the future, Joshua and Fury are left with the possibility of a superfight that isn’t quite as super as it could’ve been a few years back.
Still, as per AJ himself, it’s still something he’s craving.
Anthony Joshua wants Tyson Fury
“2025, I am targeting Tyson Fury,” said Joshua, on a trip to meet Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.
Reflecting on the Dubois fight, he added: “Makes me hungry, makes me want to work harder. Time is of the essence, time is limited, so I just want to put in more work.
“When I look back, I believe I could have done more in 2024. I have another chance in 2025 to do more and I am going to make sure I take every opportunity that comes my way.
“I should have won but I didn’t and I am going to go again.
“My life is up and down so I have to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave.
“I can’t stop now. I have to keep going until I reach my destination.”
