The WBC President seemed ecstatic about this fight, citing it as the biggest war of the century. He believes that even in the modern social media world, this bout will be a blockbuster event compared to the retro boxing fights. He even compared this potential fight to the vicious battle of Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson.

I would say it’s the biggest fight since Lennox Lewis against Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield. I think each era belongs to its history of when it happened, but without a doubt, Fury vs Joshua is a huge event that will go to the record books,” he concluded.
