Tyson Fury and the Anthony Joshua agreement achieved as Gypsy King “just as hurt”
Published
1 year agoon
George Groves joined Ricky Hatton, marking the potential clash of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshu. While the Gypsy king repealed all the hopes for the battle with his long-term rival in January, announcing his pension, the fans of the fight remained skeptical-taking into account the fifth time when the 36-year-old left the box.
The couple who was on an inevitable path to blocking the horns through their entire career never confirmed the date of the fight. Carl Froch recently called the potential “total mismatch”, promoting fury, but Groves has a different perspective. Speaking only with Express by Lottoland, BettingGrowes said: “Joshui’s last loss with Daniel Dubois was quite destructive.
“Dubois did it well that night, he jumped on Joshua, who probably wanted to ponderous down in the fight. He was not able, and was badly knocked out, on the largest scene, at the end of his career. This is a stern course.
“But the Fury also had losses in the back, maybe three if you join [Francis] Ngannou Fight, who did not impress. He was lucky to make a decision. Then he lost twice [Oleksandr] Usyk.
“It is probably just as mentally exhausting as the loss of Joshui from Dubois. I think it is a struggle for a choice. Fury is heavier, more agile, better boxing IQ, faster hands. Joshua is still a great athlete, he hits himself absurdly tough, and has a lot of great fight. It comes down to who makes the most.”
He comes when the former Hatton Hatton Master also shared his views on the fight, saying Vegas Insider: “It’s tough, I think it’s 50/50, I wouldn’t say that he would also be a favorite. AJ, as he was in the corner, even before he was knocked out, he was a bit free and I think he slightly took Daniel Dubois.
“He was so convinced before the fight, entering the fight and even during the fight. He is very relaxed, so maybe I give him a little harm, but he looked like he was thinking that he was a better person and he just had to endure Daniel … I know he was a relaxed type, but I think he took the eye with the ball with Daniel and you can’t do something like Daniel.
After a controversial victory in a fraction of the switchgear over Francis Ngannou in 2023, Fury suffered further losses with Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. They were the first defeat of his professional career, and also cost him the opportunity to gain the undisputed weighty glory.
Fury barely lost to an invincible Ukrainian through a divided decisite in May 2024, with WBC, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring weighty titles. Then Usyk confirmed his superiority, ensuring a unanimous decision victory over the King of Gypsy in an immediate rematch just four days before Christmas.
At the beginning of the novel year, Fury announced a pension from boxing on social media. However, Groves is skeptical about whether the former two -time champion is really made in sport. He added: “He’s retired five times now, so we know that retirement means nothing.
“They have benefits in retirement. You no longer have to live like an athlete or follow the British control council. There is no belt to deprived, and if he comes out of a pension, as he did earlier, it can escalate the value and excitement of the fight.
“I am almost sure that he will fight Anthony Joshua when Joshua recovers because of an injury or elbow surgery. It will probably be this year, probably in Saudi Arabia. They are both awards.
“Both of them boxed all their lives. They deserved enough and achieved a lot, but they did not leave the table, while they still have something left. They will fight with each other – and I would like to see it.”

Lewis Crocker vs. Liam Paro – large fight preview and predictions
Published
1 month agoon
June 23, 2026
On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
