Anthony Joshua's Commitment to Fans and Hints at Potential Tyson Fury Showdown
Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight world champion, is setting his sights on a future showdown with Tyson Fury, showcasing his dedication to delivering what the fans desire. Joshua, who last fought in August, is currently without an opponent and fight date. While there were discussions of a highly anticipated match with Deontay Wilder, recent talks have hit a roadblock following the withdrawal of an offer from Saudi Arabia's Skills Challenge. On the other hand, Tyson Fury has two fights lined up, first taking on Francis Ngannou over 10 rounds in Riyadh on October 28. Should Fury emerge victorious, an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk is on the horizon, as Usyk holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts he secured after defeating Joshua. The hopes of fans are pinned on the potential face-off between the two British heavyweights, widely regarded as the best of their generation. When asked about the likelihood of a fight with Fury by Martin Brundle of Sky Sports F1, Joshua expressed his commitment to delivering what the fans want. He stated, "I’m here for the fans, and I know what they want. My job is to deliver, and I will 100% do my end of the bargain. It’s up to the other team to play ball, but one step at a time." Joshua also outlined his fight plans for the next six months, revealing, "In December, I want to get back in the ring, and in April, I need to secure a victory. After that, we can discuss the possibility of the big fight in the future." Recent reports have linked Joshua to a potential matchup against Filip Hrgovic, signaling his determination to maintain an active boxing schedule and remain on the path to significant showdowns.
