JOSHUA v FURY: OVERCOOKED

After the performances of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury last

weekend, there can now be no doubt that the two British heavyweights are both

past their best. Furthermore, it is more obvious than ever before that the

fight we wanted all those years ago – when they were 1 and 2 in the heavyweight

division – is gone forever.

So, what are we left with?

Joshua remains a frightful puncher, that much is clear. But he looks so

susceptible these days it’s difficult to imagine him surviving any kind of

onslaught from Fury. Whether Fury is these days capable of producing that

onslaught, while also avoiding Joshua’s right hand, when he couldn’t avoid that

of 46-year-old Marius Wach, likely makes the bout as well-matched as it’s ever

been.
