Fury should of fought Joshua back last December, and that fight would of happened if? Team Joshua was given more time, and dealt with more professional during negotiations.
When and if Tyson Fury fights Joshua, it will be the first time in 7-8 years he has fought another fighter 'Who has at-least World level boxing skills'.
I have mentioned many times before, that Fury skill for skill has not fought at elite level for 7-8 years. Wilder was a elite level fight, but in terms of the demands of the fight 'Wilder is not a elite level boxer on pure technical skill, although I rate him extremely highly for what he is good at'.
For all the people that mock Joshua, the fact remains that he is a extremely capable boxer from Mid-long range within this era of Heavyweights. Combined with that his strength, durability, stature, and punching power are all quite solid statistically WHEN you compare him to his nearest competition within this era.
As a pure athlete, I am not talking about boxing now. As a pure athletic fighter, Joshua is a superior fighter to Fury.
If both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, where invited to a top scientific physiological assessment center. And each fighter was put through various fitness test, measuring Vo2max, Speed Endurance, flexibility, maximum strength force output, strength endurance 'Joshua would beat Tyson Fury in every single category of fitness'.
Put both fighters on a athletics track, let them compete against other in every single athletic discipline. 'Anthony Joshua would beat Tyson Fury in every single event'.
Tyson Fury has not been inside the ring, with a fighter like Joshua at any point in his career 'The closet he has come to anything like Joshua in terms of stature and athletic ability was Wladimir Kiltschko'.
But that was 7-8 years ago, and Tyson Fury was weighing in at 246-248 pounds. Nobody wants to acknowledge or talk about it 'The fact is Kiltschko was not at his best coming into that fight, due to his woman being unwell during the build up'.
Regardless it is still a great win for Fury, but it was a underwhelming fight 'It is not this master class, like people try and make out'.
Note: Tyson Fury, I don't think deep down wants to fight Anthony Joshua. Regardless of Joshua's perceived vulnerability, and the narratives that he is petrified. Tyson Fury for me has been pressured into making these fight offers, or to consider these level of fights.
Since Fury decided to fight Chisora for the third time, since he backed out of fighting Usyk twice, since his opportune moves of trying to take advantage of Joshua perceived vulnerability in the aftermath of Joshua vs Usyk II. Tyson Fury has been under heavy pressure and criticism from the general public, boxing fans and even his hardcore fans. For the first time in his career, people in mass are questioning him as a fighting man 'A Champion'. And I honestly think it has got to him dare I say it has shook him.
Fury in his ideal world as a fighter, in between big fights typically drops back down to domestic and European level 'This is how he wants to operate'. But when you are a WBC Heavyweight Champion, this comes with requirements that not even Fury can evade.
I think Fury has overrated his drawing power, because if he was this big Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson type star 'He would of fought on April 29th at Wembley Stadium against a domestic or European level fighter'.
Fury has been pressured into making this fight with Joshua. This fight is not being made under the same circumstances as last December 'Joshua has a comeback win on his resume, and he has been training with his new team for sometime'.
Note: Tyson Fury is the number 1 Heavyweight on Merritt. But I definitely don't consider him the type of favorite against ether Usyk or Joshua, like certain people try and make out. Fury quite simply just does not have the recent form, or evidence of performing at World or Elite level to warrant him this type of favoritism.
Tyson Fury is under big pressure, and is understanding what it truly means to be a Champion. But I will say this? To Tyson Fury credit, whether he admits this to his team 'I personally think he has identified this, and one thing I have never down played about Fury is 'Clutch Game'. When Tyson Fury has to step up, historically he will actively step up 'Maybe he understand as a Champion, that he is at that stage now' etc.
