A potential showdown between heavyweights Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua might become the biggest fight in British boxing history. That fight isn’t on the cards as of now, but Fury clearly brings out a reaction from the former unified champion. ‘AJ’ threatened university students after they heckled him about ‘The Gypsy King’.

Joshua is currently training at Loughborough University for his upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. This was when a group of students heckled him about the reigning WBC heavyweight champion.

An irate Joshua then proceeded to confront the students, giving them a stern warning.

Joshua said, “Remember you’re running your mouth because when I bring people up and start cracking your glass jaws. None of you will like it.”

He further added, “When your jaws start breaking. People start chasing you out of this uni, you know, you don’t like it. Watch your mouths because you don’t know who you’re talking to sometimes. “

The news of Joshua threatening the students caught Fury’s attention, and he took to social media to troll ‘AJ’.

The showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and reigning heavyweight champion Tyson Fury have had one of the longest-standing rivalries in boxing. However, the pugilists have never met each other in the ring.

A two-fight deal between both fighters was agreed upon in principle in 2020. It was reported that the purse split would be 50-50 between both the fighters. Meanwhile, the second fight would have a 60-40 split in favor of the winner.

Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn revealed in March 2021 that the duo would be signing a deal for the fight. Talking about the potential bout, Hearn said, “This is the biggest fight in boxing and one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It will be a major, major win for a country that wants to showcase itself.”

However, the fight failed to materialize.
