“The Best Fighter in This Game Are Always Fit and Muscular”: Fans Draw Comparison Between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as Both Fighters Stare at Their Upcoming Bouts

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are back. But not in the ring. Fans and followers saw both of them in an Instagram post early today. It detailed the eating habits of ‘AJ’ and the WBC Heavyweight champion. The message called out ‘The Gypsy King,’ who appeared slightly bulky compared to the shredded Joshua. Soon, several users joined. A few highlighted the accomplishments of Tyson Fury. Some spoke about the irrelevance of mere appearances.

The Post read, “Tyson Fury is such a joker.” It should be noted that last year, the Fury and Joshua match almost came about in December. But unfortunately, the talks failed to advance, resulting in the fight falling apart. Then this year, an attempt to bring the biggest draws of British boxing could not succeed.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua; what you see may not be the truth, fans chime

The following user requested that everyone not fall for such narratives: Insisting on the presence of an outlier, he said that standard training and physical fitness are still critical for the regular boxer. Top-level fighters may appear fit and strong. However, they don’t need a physique like that of Mike Chandler or Anthony Joshua. In any case, the user contemplates that the situation is changing for the Heavyweights.

If there’s a street fight, Deontay Wilder will knockout Fury easily. He said, “Don’t let this confuse you… there is always an exceptional body type. For the average fighter still needs [strength] work and a fit body..but the best fighters in this game are always fit and [muscular]…In a street fight, Tyson would be sent to the shadow realms by Wilder…”

Adam Cole probably countered @snapboxing‘s message. He mentioned Tyson Fury exchanging blows with two boxers, counted among the top ten Heavyweights in the world. Maybe he was alluding to Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko. He said, “He’s also fought 2 top 10 heavyweights in his career.” Hiti Blouin criticized followers who went after boxers for their appearances instead of checking their skills and technique.

In Blouin’s view, instead of hooting for the one who, looks-wise, may not conform to their norms but wins, such a crowd cheers for a fighter with a ripped physique but ends up losing a match. “You can see people who are sl**es of looks and muscle instead of technique and facts. They prefer an in-shape guy who loses instead of a winner with a look they don’t like. Typical beta behaviors.” The user said.

Fans – It may not be a lie either…

But Riah Nolton highlighted that Tyson Fury fears Oleksandr Usyk. She called him a six-foot-and-nine-inch tall weakling: “Yes, he is….he also fears usyk what a 6’9 wimp” But when the following user added that the reigning champion is grossly overweight and unhealthy, “And also [overweight], not healthy at all and look”

He immediately received a reply from Jude Frith, who mentioned that anytime, Fury has better cardiac fitness than him, not to forget his power, “@j26a11 I guarantee he’s got better cardio than you. And he probs all stronger as well.”

Now, Anthony Joshua will face Robert Helenius from Finland, a last-minute replacement for his initial opponent, Dillian Whyte. On the other hand, Tyson Fury returns to the ring after a gap of ten months to meet former UFC Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, making his pro boxing debut, on October 29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
