Anthony Joshua has made his opinion on Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou crystal clear. In a recent interview with IFL TV, The Gypsy King's rival labelled the fight a "nonsense" and questioned why Fury wasn't pursuing a bout to crown an undisputed champion instead.
When asked about the fight, Joshua said: ‘One – I shouldn’t give a f**k, it’s none of my business. It pays me no business. ‘Number two – Why? He should’ve been fighting for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. Straight up. That’s nonsense. His fault. ‘Three – If we’re acknowledging his business, good luck to the man. Do your thing. If it’s right for him, what’s it got to do with me? That’s my three views on it.’
Joshua also took the opportunity to call out Fury for the collapse of talks for Fury vs Usyk earlier this year. He suggested that Fury had lied about being in training camp for the proposed April date and called for people to be held accountable.
Joshua's focus, however, is now firmly on his upcoming rematch against Dillian Whyte on 12 August. He will have his chance to prove his doubters wrong and take a step closer to a potential fight with Fury. Until then, it looks like we'll have to wait and see what happens in the world of heavyweight boxing.
