Tyson Fury won't let go of a fight with Anthony Joshua. The heavyweight champ says they'll face each other even if they're both 50 years old.
Fury made these comments during an interview to promote the Undisputed video game. He's convinced the fight will happen no matter what.
"Joshua knows he's getting it. Even if we're 50 years old he's got to fight me. There's no escaping it, he cannot escape me. Even if we are 50, we're still gonna sell out Wembley."
The two British heavyweights have tried to make this fight happen before. But it never worked out due to ultimatums, court orders, and other issues. At one point, it was seen as the biggest fight in boxing.
Things have changed lately. Joshua got knocked out by Daniel Dubois, which made the Fury fight less likely. Fury himself lost to Oleksandr Usyk in his attempt to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
The fight has lost some of its shine since both fighters are no longer undefeated. But their vulnerabilities might actually make for a more interesting contest.
Right now, Fury's got his mind on other things. He's set for a rematch with Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, with three of the four major heavyweight belts on the line.
As for Joshua, he seems keen on an immediate rematch with Dubois. He could also wait to see what happens in the Fury-Usyk fight.
Both Fury and Joshua are nearing the end of their careers. It would be a shame for boxing if they retired without facing each other. But for now, we'll have to wait and see if Fury's prediction comes true.
