“Freezing, freezing cold. Get out running and get that first thing in the morning work. Get it. Positivity for January. Get it guys. Nice little 5-mile run in the freezing cold, as you can tell. Freezing cold. But you know what? There’s no days off. Because these heavyweights are trying to catch me slipping like they could have 5 years ago. Not anymore though.”

Joshua and Fury have had a long road to this fight, which may still not happen. They are represented by different people, but know that a fight between them would be a guaranteed payday for everyone involved. Not only would this be the biggest fight on the island both men are from, but it may also be one of the biggest fights in boxing.

Fury is still undefeated in his career and would like to stay undefeated. For that, he needs to keep staying a step ahead of the competition. Running in the January cold may be one way to do that.
