The Fight of Britain between heavyweights Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could finally be upon us in early 2025. The promoters of AJ and Fury are ready to make this fight, and the Brits are ready to see the two British stars mix it up. As the saying goes, “better late than never.”
Fury's loss last Saturday night to Oleksandr Usyk may have spoiled the party. In a 12-round unanimous decision loss in Riyadh, he fought as if he was afraid of getting hit and looked fat, poorly trained and lethargic.
With his pants pulled up to his sternum to cover his flabby midsection, Fury looked terrible in an awkward performance. It was hard to believe that “The Gyspy King” had gone through a full three-month training camp and appeared like this.
Fans want this fight
After this performance, Trying to sell Fury vs. Joshua “Battle of Britain” Engaging would be a mistake. But that doesn't stop their promoters, because they've learned that not fighting this battle now is too risky.
Clearly the timing is not ideal, as both are coming off losses looking old, washed out and ready to be thrown out to pasture. However, many British fans can't wait to see former heavyweight champions Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) and Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) mix it up in their first two fights in 2025.
Ideally, AJ and Fury should have two wins before the encounter because it seems pathetic for them to fight now, with both of them losing. Fans will have a different view if they both beat two top-tier contenders first and then meet. If they cannot do this, they should retire rather than fight.
Many fans on social media believe that it is too late for Joshua and Fury to fight as they are both too capable for the fight to be seen as a temporary bout between them. Two wealthy millionaires They try to line their pockets at the public's expense before leaving the sport. However, it is doubtful that either of them will retire after the next two fights.
There is a lot of money to be made, and fans in the UK don't give up on their fighters, no matter how old they are. Dereck Chisora is a case in point. If the promoters want to maximize revenue, they must rebuild Joshua and Fury first against two contenders before making the Battle of Britain. Don't be shortsighted.
“I still think Tyson just won it. I wasn't complaining about the results of the fight. I was complaining about the way they scored it,” Frank Warren said. secondtalks about how the judges scored the rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk 2 last Saturday.
“I don't see how a judge gave Tyson one round in the last seven rounds. That's impossible. I watched it, and I don't know how he got it. Usyk didn't win the last seven rounds of that fight.
