The former three-division world champion would like to see the “Gypsy King” as Joshua’s next opponent.
Former world champion in three categories Badu Jack suggested that the WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury could become an optimal opponent for the former world champion Anthony Joshua. At the same time, the Swedish boxer predicted how the next fight of the “Gypsy King” against the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO champion will develop Alexandra Usik.
“I think Joshua will beat Joseph Parker again. I would love to see AJ and Fury fight. How will the fight between Tyson and Alexander Usik turn out? Now I’m not sure. I know that Fury underestimated Ngannou a little bit, so he will do better against Usyk, improve his level, but I don’t know.”
“Who would win if the best version of Fury fought the best version of Joshua? I don’t know, we’ll see.”
Let us remind you that as part of the grandiose boxing evening “Day of Reckoning”, five rounds were enough for Briton Anthony Joshua to defeat Otto Wallin.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that Tyson would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
