Anthony Joshua says he'll prefer to face Tyson Fury than Deontay Wilder, offers to publicly train with Fury to prepare him for Wilder fight


Heavyweight Boxing champion of the world, Anthony Joshua has offered to spar his rival Tyson Fury ahead of the Brit's February 2020 rematch with Deontay Wilder.



Sparring is the technical term used for training in boxing, where boxing without powerful punching occurs and both boxers wear head gears while in the ring.



Joshua, barely two weeks after reclaiming his heavyweight belts in a classic showdown in Saudi Arabia against Andy Ruiz, wants to cement his legacy as a boxing legend but to do that he will have to beat either Fury or Wilder as they remain the only undefeated heavyweight boxing champions and are at their prime.



He has been criticized in the past by boxing fans and pundits for dodging Wilder and Fury by ''selecting easy fights.'' He was stunned by the unheralded and unknown Andy Ruiz in June.



Now he has reclaimed his belts and he says he is ready to unify the division but would rather face Fury than Wilder because he feels Wilder will want to stall negotiations with him, and has surprisingly offered to Spar with Fury to prepare him for Fury's rematch with Wilder in February 2020.


Joshua told Sky Sports News on Tuesday: “I think Tyson Fury would fight me quicker than Wilder would, so if that’s the case I want Fury to win because I just wanna fight.

“Fury, if you need me, if you need me for sparring– I’ve sparred Fury when we were kids anyway.

“I’d go out to America, spar Fury and get him ready for this Wilder fight.

“I would like that fight because I think Fury would fight me faster than Wilder would.”

“In terms of skill, I rate him (Fury) highly, he’s a real boxing connoisseur, he studies his boxing like I do.

“He has some resemblances with his movement and style, like Muhammad Ali.

“And the way he talks, if you listen to what he says you can see one of his role models is Muhammad Ali.”



Speaking about failed contract negotiations in the past with Wilder, Joshua said;

"It still puzzles me as to why it's so difficult to pin this man down," said Joshua.

"This is the man that I need to pin down to get the last ring, so I can conquer this division, as I've set out to do from day one.

"When he's ready as I am, I would love to be facing off here. Facing off with Deontay Wilder, talking about the keys to victory.

"It's not even about me now, it's gone past that. It's about the sport and our legacy, and I've always said, if he wants to create his legacy and be a future Hall-Of-Famer, he should come see us.

Letter to Joshua... Joshua u can't and won't fight wilder... Because u self know say the guy go beat you like small pikin... Anyway u can try to fight fury so as to test your strength... But don't in this life near wilder for now... The guy go decimate you....

The officials would never even accept the fight of Wilder vs AJ. Wilder is a beast.

Joshua pls i beg u in the name of god 'dont fight wilder'
But if u say you will do, watch for this

I have watched wilder fight and I say this confidently that wilder would be humbled by Joshua. Boxing isn't all about swinging ur arms wildly. It is about how well u can adapt to the fighter in front of u. Aj has proven to be a more skilled fighter than wilder but Wilder has leveraged on Joshua's popularity coupled with some trash talking to make himself relevant. One thing is certain if and when they meet Joshua will defeat wilder inevitably. Even an unfit Fury took Wilder through a boxing master class.

I think it gonna be a great fight but to be candid the fight can go either way depends on how they up their boxing skills.

..too much respect from AJ seeing him losing it but with skills and calmness am seeing him winning.

AJ or Wilder as a winner good for boxing world but am seeing Fury coming out from nowhere as champ if AJ or Wilder failed to do the needful.

thats you own perspective both are heavy weght champions beleive me it is 50/50

I have a lot of respect for Fury and in terms of quality and sheer ability I think Fury is a threat to Joshua. Fury vs Joshua would be anybody's fight buy Wilder vs Aj is gonna be in Joshua's favour u can bank on dat bro.

Yeah 50/50 but boxer like Wilder would never last a round with boxing legend Mohammed Ali.

All AJ need against Wilder is calmness or he lose it with ease.

AJ vs Fury would bring us back to great boxing show

Leave those people talking about Wilder killing Joshua as if they know about boxing.
They only watch highlights from Wilder's matches, they also forgot that Fury who was away for years outboxed him in twelve rounds.

Wilder also pick weaker opponents too.
