Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather had a Q&A with fight fans at the York Hall in London, and gave his take on the red-hot heavyweight division.
Fury shook things up last month, when he stopped Deontay Wilder in the seventh round to capture the WBC heavyweight strap. The two boxers are now set to compete in a trilogy fight in the coming months.
Anthony Joshua will defend the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world titles against Kubrat Pulev on June 20.
Mayweather does not agree with all of the people being critical of Wilder in the aftermath of his defeat.
He also believes the public is paying too much attention to Joshua and Fury, while ignoring some of the up and coming heavyweights from countries outside of the US and UK.
"Boxing is strong all around the world and even if I were in the US I’d say the same thing – just because you win one fight, that doesn’t define your career," Mayweather said.
"One fight doesn’t define your career. If that’s the case, all I had to do was go and fight [Manny] Pacquiao and my career would be defined from one fight. You can be up here today and down here tomorrow. No fighter should take something for granted.
"We talking about Anthony Joshua, hell of a fighter. Tyson Fury, hell of a fighter. It doesn’t matter who wins, if I’m not getting paid that’s none of my business. Everybody keep worry about two heavyweights. Boxing is worldwide. And it’s going to be a heavyweight who’s not from the US or not from the UK who’s going to make a lot of noise. Everybody mark that down right now, I told you that.
"There are other heavyweights from other countries who are very exciting, very explosive. In the sport of boxing, anything can happen on any given night. You see Deontay Wilder was at the top one day, and the next day hating him. You can’t do it like this. You can’t talk bad about him because at the end of the day anything can happen.
"When Tyson Fury was down in the first fight everybody was like, ‘oh, what happened?’. Anything can happen. Tyson Fury can win one day, Deontay Wilder can win the next. But when you’re Floyd Mayweather you can never have a bad day."
