It’s the showdown all boxing fans want to see.
A former member of Anthony Joshua’s camp has given his view on the possibility of Joshua taking on Tyson Fury.
After brutally dispatching of Francis Ngannou earlier this month, the boxing world is desperate to see Joshua finally step into the ring with Fury, in what would be one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.
Fury has to navigate his way past Oleksandr Usyk when the pair finally lock horns in May. If Fury successfully beats the Ukrainian, it could open the door for the titanic bout.
Richie Woodall, who worked with Joshua as part of his team at the Olympics in 2012, has been asked about the mouth-watering fight. Although he can see Joshua’s improvement, he still says the match would be too tough to call.
“Last couple of performances he’s boxing really well, it’s working with Ben Davison,” he told Boxing Social.
The way he knocked out Ngannou was very impressive indeed. I think the fight everyone still really wants to see deep down is Tyson Fury versus AJ.
“But Fury has a very difficult fight against Usyk, but Tyson looks in really good shape so it’s a close one to call. I’m actually going for Fury, I think he will be too big for Usyk, but I can’t wait for it.
“But I think the one we want to see is AJ, I think he’s improving with Ben Davison, fair play to him so why not, it’s an exciting division.
“We’ll have to judge it on [Fury’s] next fight with Usyk, it’s going to be a difficult fight and he’s going to have to be at his best so Tyson versus AJ is 50-50 at this stage but if he beats Usyk he starts the favorite.”
