Anthony Joshua says Tyson Fury should be retiring soon


Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are in the long-running rivalry between heavyweights. Despite Joshua being just a little over a year younger than Fury, he recently took to questioning why Fury took so long to get to his first title. “Fury has been professional much longer than me,” Joshua recently told Sky Sports. “He should be looking to retire soon. If he wants to cement his legacy, I’m here and ready. I’ve built myself into this position.” Joshua holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles, while Fury is the WBC champion. The two very well could be meeting in 2021, according to reports. But first, Joshua must defend his belts against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev, likely in December, while Fury is still contracted to a third fight with Deontay Wilder, who he beat in their rematch. “I’ll challenge Fury, I’ll challenge Wilder,” said Joshua. “These guys aren’t the biggest names that I’ve fought on my record anyway. They are just another heavyweight. Look at my record. They are not the best fighters that I have challenged.”
