Sure, just as Tyson was undisputed, but there was still interest in a fight against Spinks.
But Fury's claim to the lineal title in spurious at best. #1 - He "won" the lineage from Wladimir Klitschko, a guy who most considered inferior to his brother Vitali and they refused to fight each other (isn't lineage supposed to start with #1 vs #2?).
#2 - Fury publicly announced his retirement, which is supposed to vacate the lineal title.Comment

3 and most damning, he's accepted a retrospective ban for a positive PED test prior to the fight that won him the Klitschko fight, that bout has since been declared a no contest. So he arguably had no right to be in the ring in the first place.Sure, just as Tyson was undisputed, but there was still interest in a fight against Spinks.

Please understand, I'm not arguing for Furys lineal status, simply acknowledging the reality that for a proportion of the boxing world, he will remain an unanswered question to Joshua's status until he's beaten.i think that suits Joshua because that fight could do massive business and I doubt that fury will recover to he level required to beat AJ, but that's way in the future in an case.Comment
