Anthony Joshua HAS OFFICIALLY POSTPONED THE FIGHT AGAINST Deontay Wilder
Anthony Joshua HAS OFFICIALLY POSTPONED THE FIGHT AGAINST Deontay Wilder Former two-time contender for the world light heavyweight title from Great Britain Anthony Yard said that he wants a fight with his compatriot Joshua Buatsi and believes that their duel is second in importance only to the fight between two heavyweights Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Yard recently successfully returned to the ring after losing to WBC, IBF and WBO champion Artur Beterbiev, and Buatsi, who has no defeats, will hold a WBA qualifying match against Dan Aziz on October 21. "There is no guarantee that he will pass Dan Aziz — Dan is a serious contender," Yard said in an interview with Sky Sports. — If he wins, it [the fight between Yard and Buatsi] will be the biggest fight in Britain with the exception of the Fury-Joshua fight. I want to box in December, he's boxing in October — I don't think he'll be ready by December. But at the beginning of next year, Joshua Buatsi and I are supposed to meet in the ring." "Next year we will be looking for big fights," Yarde added, "Joshua Buatsi, maybe a title fight. But my fight against Buatsi has to take place, because this fight has been brewing for too long." John Fury, the father of British heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, has changed his mind about the outcome of a possible duel between ex-heavyweight champions Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs). If in May of this year John was sure that Joshua would knock out Wilder, now he thinks the opposite. "AJ knocks out Wilder," Fury Sr. initially stated. — Because Wilder can't hold punches that fall on the side of his head. Tyson, the Gypsy King broke his skull. If AJ gets there too, there will be a knockout." And here's what John said earlier in an interview on Rob Moore's YouTube channel: "Wilder is not my favorite. He's a terrible athlete, like a big kid. You've seen how he behaves when he loses. But can this person strike? Yes, it can. Does he have a pair of balls? Definitely. You can't stick your chin out and let Wilder hit it, because he'll send you to sleep forever." "Only the Gypsy King Tyson Fury can withstand the power of Wilder,— Fury's father continues. — Look at Helenius. 30 seconds — and a dead man, from a short blow. He was pretty good against A.J. until he caught him.… But is it possible to compare him with a man who will blow your brains out with any hand? AJ isn't exactly the most elusive of people, is he? He is not a supporter of moving to the sides, his head remains in one place. I think this fight (with Wilder) will be his last
