Tyson Fury has expressed empathy for Anthony Joshua following Joshua’s recent defeat by Daniel Dubois, remarking that he felt genuinely saddened to see a “worthy opponent” like Joshua suffer such a significant loss.
Fury shared that, as a fellow fighter, he often feels deflated when an adversary is defeated by someone other than himself, viewing it as a loss for a competitive bond within the sport.
Despite Joshua’s setbacks, Fury emphasized his willingness to face him in the ring. Fury downplayed the impact of Joshua’s losses on the potential matchup, saying that even with multiple defeats, Joshua remains an interesting and compelling opponent.
This proposed fight between the two British heavyweights would be highly anticipated by boxing fans, many of whom hope to see the matchup before both fighters move past their primes.
Fury’s openness to the fight reflects a perspective that, for veteran fighters like him and Joshua, the focus is now on putting on exciting matchups rather than solely defending titles or preserving undefeated records.
