Anthony Joshua's surprise response when asked about a possible fight with Mike Tyson

Anthony Joshua doesn't want to face Mike Tyson. Iron Mike is 54 at the end of June and has been training with the view to making a comeback. Joshua is the current WBA (super), IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight champion and the only strap he doesn’t own is Tyson Fury’s WBC title. He fights with Kubrat Pulev but when he was asked about the possibility of facing Tyson, Joshua thought it was a lose-lose situation. “With all due respect I wouldn’t [face Tyson],” he told The Sun. “Even if I fought Iron Mike and beat him, I think I’d be the only one cheering. People would boo. He is a legend. He is the greatest boxer of the modern era. “There are only two recognised champions the world knows of, Ali and Mike Tyson — the most recognised faces in the world when it comes to boxing.” Source: TalkSport
