“But Tyson will go f***ing through him, you understand. He’ll go through him, around him. He’ll move and Anthony Joshua will not know where he is. There’ll be lefts and rights and Anthony will not have a clue.”

Lee proceeded to act in a manner of a confused boxer trying to guess where the next punch will be coming from to reiterate his point. 

“That’s the way that’s gonna be. I’m a big fan of Tyson(Fury). Massive fan of boxing in general. But when you have somebody who moves his head a hundred positions every minute you don’t know where it is. I mean it’s impossible to try hit this man. Unless Anthony Joshua has something which we have never seen before which is triple the speed he needs and that’s just not his hands, on his feet and triple the energy then maybe he has a shot. But if he doesn’t bring that to the table then just leave the belt and don’t even fight. There’s no point. Also that’ll be the end then if he loses. There’ll be no way back from that.”

Many retired boxers share this point of view as well. They believe that ‘The Gypsy King’ will be a bridge too far for ‘AJ.’ However, ‘AJ ‘has said Fury will be treated like any other opponent. He will no doubt be applying this same philosophy to his next fight against Kubrat Pulev.

If he wins and ‘The Gypsy King’ to retains his WBC title against Deontay Wilder in the upcoming trilogy, the dream clash will have no hurdles before it. 

Do you agree with the actor’s assessment of the potential dream clash?
