Boxing legend Roy Jones spoke with Discuss Sport this week, and the all-time nice spoke about what he feels could effectively occur for Tyson Fury if the previous heavyweight champ loses his December 21 return battle with present king Oleksandr Usyk (who, as now we have grown to anticipate, confirmed actual class and a real championship coronary heart when visiting a youngsters’s hospital in his war-torn nation of Ukraine this week).
Jones stated that even when Fury does get crushed once more, the clamor from the British battle followers to see Fury towards his long-time home rival Anthony Joshua will proceed to be there in spades. And, Jones stated, if AJ beats Daniel Dubois of their September battle, with the IBF heavyweight belt on the road, the all-British conflict would make a lot sense.
Now, we don’t know what one other loss, to the identical man at that, would do to Fury, and perhaps he would stroll away and cling up his gloves. Then once more, Fury may make the wanted changes and get his revenge win over Usyk. Jones spoke about what he might see taking place for a crushed Fury. Jones sees AJ defeating Dubois – “until he takes him evenly, then it may very well be an upset” – after which combating Fury.
“I really feel like if Joshua wins the [IBF] title and if Usyk is ready to beat Fury once more, then the subsequent battle I believe individuals within the UK will wanna see might be Fury versus Joshua for Joshua’s title. And that’s a 50/50 battle to me. An actual choose ’em.”
A battle between Joshua and Fury – and a very good tagline for it will be “Lastly!” – could be a ‘battle of the losers,’ but as Jones says, who within the UK wouldn’t need to see it? However to repeat, how would Fury react if he misplaced once more to Usyk? Would Fury threat one other defeat, and to a fellow Brit at that?
Who wins if Joshua and Fury do battle, say, subsequent summer time? It’s a 50/50 affair, as Jones says. However first, can Joshua get previous Dubois with no hitch once they collide at Wembley?
