Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are extremely eager to touch gloves with each other. In the past few months, the British duo have traded substantial verbal jabs with each other, and now they look to settle their long-time rivalry in the squared circle.

Lately, the WBC heavyweight king was in a chat with Behind The Gloves. Here, he was asked whether he considers Anthony Joshua as the best of this era.

To which he responded, “No, because he hasn’t beat anybody yet! To be the best of our era, Klitschko, he’s beat him, he has to beat me and he also wants to beat Deontay Wilder.

“If I, when I win this fight, I am the best of this era.”

Fury believes there are several roadblocks Joshua has to move through before he proves himself as a boxing great.

Moreover, ‘The Gypsy King’ feels he’s ahead of Joshua in terms of fighting the best of his division. He even asserted that he’s fought bigwigs like Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder and came out as a top boxer against them.

The undefeated Brit now feels that ‘AJ’ is the only prime challenge ahead of him, and once he claims a win over him, he’ll pin himself in the history books forever.

There are only a handful of heavyweight boxers whom Fury considers as the best of this era. He cites both Joshua and Wilder in that list, but he somehow feels that ‘AJ’ has to get past the Alabama native to solidify himself as the best heavyweight on the planet.

But for now, Joshua is supremely focused on the undisputed clash alongside Tyson Fury and wants all the heavyweight belts eagerly.

The matchup between the duo is being discussed for a long time. And the pair have even signed the contract to face each other twice.
