In a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, boxing champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua engaged in a lively chat, discussing their highly anticipated upcoming fight. Host Jonathan Ross wasted no time getting to the big question: “When are you having your fight with Joshua Anthony?” Ross asked Fury, referring to Anthony Joshua.
Fury revealed that the fight is set to take place next year, as both fighters have cleared their final hurdles. He expressed his willingness to battle Joshua, emphasizing that he wants to prove himself as the best heavyweight in the world. “Who’s the best heavyweight in the world? Me,” Fury confidently declared.
Ross continued to delve into the details of the potential clash, highlighting that if Fury were to win, it would be the first time in 20 years that the heavyweight belts were unified in one competition. The victorious fighter would then become the undisputed heavyweight champion across all categories, solidifying their status as the best in the world.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Ross asked Fury if he planned to continue boxing even if he emerged victorious. Fury, known for his colorful personality, shared that he sees himself as a creature of habit and intends to keep boxing until there are no more challenges or rivalries left. He explained that with each new victory, there will always be someone else to fight, ensuring that he remains active in the sport.
As the discussion progressed, Fury expressed his respect for Joshua as an athlete and fighter. While acknowledging that he doesn’t know Joshua personally, he believes he seems like a decent guy. This mutual respect between the two competitors adds an interesting dynamic to the upcoming match.
Ross was curious to discover whom Fury had enjoyed facing the most throughout his career. Fury admitted that at the time of each fight, he didn’t particularly like his opponents. However, he mentioned that his favorite fellow boxer is Derek Chisora, as they get along well and have a mutual respect for each other’s skills.
The chat also touched upon Fury’s pre-fight routine and how he deals with nerves. Unlike many fighters who need to psych themselves up before a match, Fury revealed that he is the most relaxed fighter there is. He enjoys having fun and joking around in the changing room before stepping into the ring. Fury attributes his calmness to the knowledge that he has put in the hard work during training camp and has mentally and physically prepared himself for the bout.
The highly anticipated fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua promises to be an epic showdown between two heavyweight contenders. As the date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing the clash that could potentially redefine the boxing landscape.
