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.

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.
As a result, the entire fight world now desperately awaits to see the two big men confront each other, thus rolling out a show will be worth the wait.
