John Fury Tells Anthony Joshua To Beat Deontay Wilder If He Wants To Fight Tyson
John Fury has given Anthony Joshua some advice if he wants to get a fight with Tyson Fury.
Fury is set to return to the ring on Oct. 28 against Francis Ngannou and will then face Oleksandr Usyk to unify the heavyweight division after that. Although Tyson Fury has two fights already booked, many fans are hoping he and Anthony Joshua can fight before their careers are up.
However, according to John Fury, he says if Anthony Joshua wants the fight with Tyson Fury, he says he should go out and beat Deontay Wilder.
“The only way that [Fury-Joshua] can happen is if he beats Deontay Wilder. Everyone is skipping Wilder and no one wants to face him. I can’t stand him as a man, but every boxer on the planet is sh!t scared of him except the Gypsy King, who’s beat him twice,” John Fury explained to The Daily Mail. “If AJ wants to face Tyson, let him defeat Wilder. No one wants Wilder. They can’t take Wilder’s power. They’ve all got to face Wilder to get to ‘The Gypsy King’.
“If they think they’re going to tread low and then get paid multi-millions when they don’t deserve it… at the end of the day, [Joshua] had an easy ride getting the belts. Let him earn his stripes to get to the Gypsy King,” Fury continued. “They’re going to have to line up and do something big. Tyson went to everyone’s backyard to get them titles. If Joshua beats Wilder, that fight can be made in 30 seconds. If AJ is good enough, let him beat Wilder and that makes this fight mega big. But at the moment it’s dead in the water because he doesn’t deserve it. He can’t face a few bums and face the Gypsy King, can he? I know the public want to see it but let him earn it.”
Anthony Joshua is coming off a KO win over Robert Helenius back in August.
