SAN FRANCISCO, September 08, (THEWILL) – Boxing heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has urged fellow heavyweight champion and rival, Tyson Fury, to retire soon from the sport.
He stated this while speaking with Sky Sports Tuesday as both boxers prepare to clash next year.
According to Joshua, he is ‘here and ready’ for the fight with Fury saying that it might be time Fury bid farewell to boxing.
He said: “Fury has been professional much longer than me. He should be looking to retire soon. If he wants to cement his legacy, I’m here and ready. I’ve built myself into this position.”
He also pointed out that his records show that he has defeated better and tougher opponents before.
He said: “I’ll challenge Fury, I’ll challenge Wilder. These guys aren’t the biggest names that I’ve fought on my record anyway. They are just another heavyweight.
“Look at my record. They are not the best fighters that I have challenged. When they are ready, I’m here to fight.”
