No doubt followers can be wanting to see the 2 males throw down within the ring, however will even be taking this information with a grain of salt. They’ve been down this street, earlier than, in any case. Late final 12 months, a lot hyped talks between the 2 fighter’s camps fell via. Fury went on to cease Derek Chisora in December whereas Joshua went on to resolution Jermaine Taylor in April.
Fury has since engaged in wild negotiations with WBO, WBA and IBF titlist Oleksandr Usyk, negotiations which went nowhere. The failure to make that individual battle was fairly grating because the winner would have change into the primary undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in many years. Yet Fury has additionally gone on from there to feud with UFC star Jon Jones. Meanwhile, his crew has been in discussions to presumably pit the towering Englishman in opposition to Australian heavyweight Demsey McKean.
