Tyson Fury Eyes Two-fight Deal With Anthony Joshua After Ngannou's Brutal Knockout
After witnessing Anthony Joshua's dominant victory over Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury is setting his sights on a potential two-fight deal with his British rival. Fury acknowledges that there's still a "long way to go" before such a showdown materializes but remains hopeful for the future. Joshua's clinical performance against Ngannou, who famously knocked Fury down in their previous encounter, showcased the former's methodical approach and devastating power. Landing two decisive blows in the first round and a final knockout punch in the second, Joshua left Ngannou unconscious on the canvas. Fury, observing ringside, applauded Joshua's display and later expressed his desire for a showdown with him. In an interview with DAZN, Fury outlined his vision for two bouts against Joshua, with one potentially taking place in Saudi Arabia and the other at Wembley Stadium in the UK. "Once I'm done with the rabbit, I'll take on AJ," Fury stated, referring to his upcoming fights. "Hopefully, we can do one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley!" However, the timeline for such a clash remains uncertain. Fury currently has contractual obligations, including a two-fight deal with Oleksandr Usyk, with the second bout scheduled for October. This leaves Joshua in need of an opponent in the interim, prompting Fury to suggest a potential matchup against Filip Hrgovic. Acknowledging the hurdles ahead, Fury emphasized the need to focus on his upcoming fights before turning attention to Joshua. "There's quite a long way to go, there's always been a lot of s*** getting in the way of it," Fury remarked. "After that, if he's still available and I'm available, let's get it on." Fury also highlighted the importance of staying active in the sport, acknowledging that both he and Joshua need to continue fighting regularly. "Yes, it goes both ways," Fury noted. "He can do what he wants, whoever he fights, he can’t wait a year, inactivity is no good." As the boxing world eagerly anticipates a potential showdown between Fury and Joshua, fans must remain patient as both fighters navigate their respective paths in the sport. #TysonFury #AnthonyJoshua #boxing
