Tyson Fury has expressed interest in seeing himself fight in a ring with Anthony Joshua in later time while ignoring the number of times AJ fell in the ring.

Fury versus Joshua fight has been presumed as one which is going to be the biggest bout in the history of boxing. The fight which could have been held couple of years back was circumvented by factor such as flops in recent fight, particular on the side of Joshua.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have both had dents on their world championship title which is partly marked by unprecedented defeats suffered in their recent bouts.

Fury experienced his first lost on May 2024 since his 40-years boxing career. He was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk via a split decision in May. He will be facing Usyk for a second match once again on December 27.

Anthony Joshua on the hand suffered his fourth defeat from the hands of Dubois, and he his bent on having a rematch.

Speaking about Joshua's dwindling career, Fury has expressed sympathy for him. During an interview with Sky News, Fury remarked: "I feel sorry for him at the minute, being cleaned out in the last fight in five rounds, so he'll have to do that again - or not - and then decide his future.

'Joshua fight would be entertaining'
"I've said after every [Anthony Joshua] loss I've felt deflated.

"When an adversary loses, and it's not to you, you do feel down and depressed about it. I felt sad for him. It was sad to see a worthy opponent lose his crown.

Fury ignored Joshua's shortcoming and expressed interest to fight him in later time. To Fury, it is not a matter of how many times he has been defeated, but just a matter of entertainment and the revenue that comes out of the fight.

"I'd still fight him whether he's got five losses, 10 losses or 20. It's not important because, at this stage of our careers, it's about having good fights.

"I think it would still be an entertaining and interesting fight for the paying pundit."

The British elite boxer, aims to have a trilogy with Usyk. It would do a lot of honour to his profile if he comes out triumph against Usyk in the trilogy.

"I would like to have a trilogy with Usyk. It would be 1-1 and then we would have to do a rubber match and I'd be the only heavyweight in history to have three trilogies. That would be quite impressive."
