The unified world champion is bullish about his chances and believes ‘The Gypsy King’ needs education. He views Tyson Fury as a professional and fancies his chances against the current WBC champion.
He said, “But let’s talk about him as a boxer. I don’t find him intimidating and I haven’t seen him do anything in the ring where I think, ‘This guy is going to be a massive threat.’ He’s talented, and he’s awkward, and that’s often enough to get you quite far in life.”

‘The Gypsy King’ is unbeaten in 32 professional bouts and holds wins over the likes of former champion Wladimir Klitschko and Dereck Chisora. Later, he became the first man to deny Deontay Wilder a win. Subsequently, he became the first boxer to beat ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
‘AJ’ labeled Fury’s style as talented and awkward but admitted that the combination is good.
Anthony Joshua is a Jekyll and Hyde type of person
Anthony Joshua believes he is a real person, who perseveres every single day. He said, “I’m like a Jekyll and Hyde type of person with it. On one side, I believe I can elevate myself to a different level through being the Anthony Joshua that I want the world to see.”
Joshua has risen through the boxing ranks rapidly. Two years after claiming gold for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics, he won the WBC International heavyweight championship. His stock soared as he claimed the majority of the heavyweight belts by defeating ‘Dr. Steelhammer.’
He suffered his only setback in 2019 but did not drift away from the title scene. Following his loss, ‘AJ’ defeated Andy Ruiz Jr. in the rematch to reclaim his lost gold.
“But on the other hand, I’m a real person. I make mistakes, I’m not perfect. I’m trying, though. I really am. I’m working on myself every day.”
The humility he maintains is telling, given how he maintained his streak for six years. Also, his attitude helped him overcome adversity. He worked hard and continued to improve every day. The ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ analogy shows us that there are two sides to the champion which he uses as needed.
