Alen Babic Compares Anthony Joshua to Apollo Creed, Tyson Fury to Rocky

The mighty heavyweight collision between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is inching closer with time. After much rigmarole, Joshua and Fury both inked on a 2 fight deal. However, the tentative dates and location for this contest are yet to get finalized.

Ever since its announcement, this fight has stirred the combat sports universe. And as it got official, there’s a sea of happiness among their fans.

Recently, the Croatian pugilist, Alen Babic, was in a chat with Pro Boxing Fans. Here he gave his take on this much-awaited clash between two Brits.

He said, “Oh it’s (an) amazing fight. I look everywhere about this fight to read something about it.”

“He’s (Anthony Joshua) Rocky, you know. I said wrong, he’s Apollo Creed, but Fury is Rocky. Fury’s Rocky and people just love him and he loves them back and I think he’s a different breed of a fighter like me.”

Babic cited Anthony Joshua as Apollo Creed, who is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. And Fury as Rocky, who challenges Creed later in the film.

Both Creed and Rocky fight their heart out and provide a stern outing to the other. Babic believes the Joshua vs Fury fight is exactly the same as the Rocky film series, which was an absolute blockbuster.
