Anthony Joshua says his goal is to fight Tyson Fury in 2025. Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) wants to make the mega fight against former WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) . ) soon
Fury, 36, has been laying low since his unification champion Oleksandr Usyk on Dec. 21 in Riyadh, and is no doubt wondering what went wrong this time because he defeated him for the second time. It seemed he no longer had any.
His performance, or lack thereof, showed why it’s important to get the ‘Battle of Britain’ fight against Joshua as soon as possible. Some believe Fury could announce his retirement, and they’re on board ‘R’ watchexpecting a tearful speech from him.
Joshua needs to increase the pressure on Fury to encourage him and motivate him to stay because he can do something impulsive. He retired once, only to return.
“2025, I’m targeting Tyson Fury,” said Anthony Joshua to Sky Sports News.
He needs some encouragement from Joshua and others at this point to make him think he did better than he actually did.
AJ has more reason to retire than Fury because he was torn apart by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in his fifth-round knockout loss on September 21 in front of over 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium from London It was a complete mismatch, with Joshua falling four times.
Joshua had never been knocked out like that before. You could see that Dubois was too strong, young and out of his league in terms of talent. However, it would be the same if Dubois fought Fury. It might be even easier because his punch resistance is gone and he would have nothing to hold Dubois for an instant.
“It makes me hungry, it makes me want to work harder. Time is of the essence; time is limited, so I just want to work harder,” Joshua said of his loss to Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21.
“When I look back, I think I could have done more in 2024. I have another chance in 2025 to do more, and I’ll make sure I take every opportunity that comes my way. I should have won, but I didn’t do, and I’ll go again,” said Joshua.
Joshua should forget about Dubois permanently and focus entirely on fighting Fury twice before calling it a day. Getting back with Daniel would be a bad idea.
