And Joshua was recently interviewed by Louis Theroux and asked how he’d feel if he beat Fury, and he responded: ‘I’d be over the moon.’
Theroux then probed Joshua on his personal relationship with the ‘Gypsy King’ outside of the ring and asked, ‘Are you friendly with him?’
The former unified heavyweight champion replied: ‘No, not really, but I respect what’s he done [in boxing]’
‘AJ’ was then asked if he could beat his long time rival.
Joshua replied: ‘Yeah,’
‘It wouldn’t be easy, though?’ Theroux responds. ‘No,’ Joshua answers.
Theroux then claimed that the bookies would favour Fury and asked if Joshua thinks the same.
Joshua agreed, but responded: ‘It’s good. It gives me a bit more [oomph], you know? It’s a challenge – but one I’ll be up for.’
Will we ever see a Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight and how would it play out? Let us know in the comments.
