WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who are lined up for two fights in 2021, bumped into each other while vacationing in Marbella, Spain. Joshua told Sky Sports, “He said, ‘Don’t lose to Kubrat Pulev!’ I said, ‘That’s something silly to say.’ He said, ‘Have you got to fight Usyk?’ I said, ‘Look Tyson, when me and you can get a fight together, we don’t have to worry about Usyk. See you next year!'”
Usyk is Joshua’s WBO mandatory challenger. Both Joshua and Usyk are promoted by Matchroom.
I am still skeptical this fight will even go down to some degree. Both men have to meet in the middle with money, beat their tune-ups (mandatory), keep their heads screwed on straight, and last, but not least, do NOT get injured. So much to accomplish even before it goes down. Their smack talk is simply foreplay at this point. Sorry, but I will believe it when the bell finally rings in round 1.
Sounds like Usyk will get the regular belt while Joshua is super champion.
The Who doesn’t do super & regular champions.. that’s the wba and Charr is the wba regular champion already..
Joshua will get stripped of the WBO belt and Usyk will fight the highest ranked contender for the belt. The winner meets Joshua or Fury
Tyson covertly gave Joshua the embedded command “lose to Kubrat Pulev”. Tyson is full of dirty little tricks!!!
ROCKY: DING…DING!!
That was actually Apollo….
Fury will beat the limited and robotic Joshua fairly easy in both outings then probably retire. Nothing to prove after that. The draw on his record should actually be a W, it’s a shame he was robbed.
Maybe Fury should rematch Otto Wallin. I had Wallin winning the fight. Sometimes gifted decisions are passed out for bigger and better money-making things.
Yes, the Wallin win wasn’t exactly dominant, especially as badly as Fury was busted up.
But c’mon, if he beats Joshua then he’s actually got four notable wins on his resume, and one of those wins was against a great fighter that was nearly 40 years old. Yep, why bother fighting anyone else?
If kubrat wins hes definetely showing off his french kissing skills with some random chick in the audience
The both happened to be vacationing in the same city at the same time and also bumped into each other? Is Marbella that popular of a destination?
Thats where all the nude beaches are. They go there to work on their tans.
Obviously there are no doubts Fury wants to get it on with Joshua. He already dominated Wilder so what wouldn’t he not fight Joshua. I will be suprised if Joshua doesn’t find a way to get out of a Fury showdown that is supposedly going to happen in 2021. AJ is a weasle until proven otherise.
