Tyson Fury complained about the $150 million he was losing after watching Anthony Joshua knocked out in the fifth round by Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. Joshua’s defeat effectively scuppered plans for him and Fury to meet in a mega-million clash in the first quarter of 2025.
Although His Excellency Turki Alalshikh had previously spoken about the possibility of the Joshua-Fury fight still happening if one or both of them lose, as Joshua was reduced to asteroid dust by the IBF heavyweight champion Dubois ( 22-2, 21 KOs) on Saturday night in front. of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London, there is no chance for Fury’s fight to happen next.
“That cost me $150 million, you stupid ***,” said Tyson Fury TNT Sports Boxingreacts to Anthony Joshua’s loss to Daniel Dubois.
All that cash went to waste because of Joshua’s loss. Fury should be angry, but it is. Joshua is already rich, sitting on a fortune of $80 million, and when you have that kind of money, this is what happens. He’s not exactly young, with him being in his mid-30s. That might be young for an executive in a corporation, but not a fighter.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, already acknowledges that the rematch with Dubois must happen later, and there is talk of AJ activating the clause they have in the contract to make it happen.
AJ needs to throw out Ben Davison
It was obvious watching the 34-year-old Joshua last night that he was not at his best. Using an extravagant fighting approach, he retreated and did not let go of his hands. In addition to the passive game plan that Joshua used, his physique looked bulky, as if he had been beaten too much in the weight room. He might have thought he needed more muscle to handle the power of the young lion, Dubois, but it backfired on him.
It goes without saying that Joshua needs to fire trainer Ben Davison immediately. That is not even open for discussion. Davison must go. If Joshua didn’t give Davison his walking papers after the fight, he needs to do it now. Ben failed with this stupid game plan, and it looked like little training.
