Matchroom Boxing’s AJ and Queensberry Promotions’ Fury have had a long-time rivalry in the heavyweight division for the best part of a decade now, with boxing fans worldwide eagerly awaiting the day that the two men finally come to blows in the squared circle to determine who is the better fighter
And it seems as though fight fans may not have to wait much longer to see a bout take place, with Joshua recently revealing that he hopes to settle the score with Fury this year. Speaking with Channels Television about his aims for the future, Joshua explained: “Three-time world champion, and Tyson Fury.”
When asked about a time frame for a lucrative bout with the ‘Gypsy King’, the pugilist added: “I’m not sure, but that’s my target,” before looking directly into the camera and adding: “2025, I’m targeting Tyson Fury.” Media then asked Joshua if he thinks he has a chance against Fury following his recent unanimous-decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk, to which the 35-year-old said: “We’ll see, let us get in the ring. Only God knows, but for me we’ll see in the future.”
