Tyson Fury Offers Sympathy to Anthony Joshua After Disappointing Defeat
Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has expressed his support and sympathies for Anthony Joshua, whose high-profile fight against Daniel Dubois ended in an unexpected knockout defeat at Wembley Stadium in September.
Joshua, the favorite to win, was left reeling after Dubois’s impressive display, which saw him knocked down multiple times before a decisive right-hand punch sealed his fate in the fifth round. This loss marks Joshua’s fourth professional defeat, dealing a significant blow to his aspirations of becoming a three-time world champion.
The contest showcased Dubois’s exceptional skill, as he dominated Joshua in front of a packed crowd of 98,000 fans. Promoter Eddie Hearn has since hinted at potential rematch options for Joshua, either against Dubois or Tyson Fury.
In a recent interview with Sky News, Fury, set to face unified champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, shared his thoughts on Joshua’s situation, saying, “I feel for him at this moment. He needs to regroup and reassess his career after this setback.” Fury also acknowledged the tough circumstances, pointing out, “It’s disheartening to see a gifted opponent face such a significant challenge.”
Despite Joshua’s recent losses, Fury remains open to a potential bout against the British boxer, emphasizing the importance of high-quality matches: “I believe it would still be an exciting fight for the fans.” Meanwhile, Fury’s primary focus is on a potential trilogy with Usyk, with the possibility of a decisive third match: “I’d love to create a trilogy with Usyk; a win each would lead to a final showdown. Achieving three trilogies would be a remarkable achievement in heavyweight history,” he said.
Alpha pound-for-pound, Fury is gearing up for the trilogy, determined to make history.
