WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) praises the man who he beaten in the ring in February and took his belt Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs). All this once again struck IBF, WBA and WBO champion, Fury's compatriot, Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs).
“I have to give credit to Wilder, he had eggs, he wanted to fight the best. When I took a break in boxing, he tried to fight Joshua twice, but the negotiations went on forever, we know how it was,” the Englishman said.
“Joshua received an offer of $80 million for two fights, I know some trusted people who saw the evidence. Joshua refused, and I do not think that he could earn more in other conditions. He refused because he and his people were afraid that he would get a punch in his jaw from the Bronze Bomber,” the Gypsy King added.
The potential meeting of Fury and Joshua is announced for the next year and, apparently, is being preliminarily discussed, but is still very far from reality. Meanwhile Fury will have a third fight with Wilder this year, and Joshua will defend his titles in the fight against Kubrat Pulev. In the background there are other mandatories: Dillian Whyte, who demands a fight against Fury, and Oleksandr Usyk, who may also soon require a meeting with Joshua.
