Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 is still not official. Therefore, Joshua seems to be way behind Tyson Fury in the current conditions. But he has found a way to fight ‘The Gypsy King’ outside the boxing circle. Joshua hilariously advised Fury to rope in for a WWE-styled tag team clash, where AJ picked Dereck Chisora to be on his side.
