Tyson Fury may currently not have much interest in returning to boxing ring competition; nevertheless, speculation around his possible comeback remains strong, particularly amid suggestions of which opponents he should face upon making his comeback decision. One prominent voice among them has been Amir J. Tyson (son of boxing legend Mike Tyson). Amir highlighted a fight which would capture UK attention the most: Anthony Joshua as Fury could face.
It has long been on fans and promoters’ wish lists that Fury would fight Joshua head-to-head; unfortunately it has never come to fruition. Fury appeared more open to this possibility before his second fight against Oleksandr Usyk but subsequent losses have caused him to withdraw. A recent training video has given fans hope they may see Fury return as one of boxing’s dominators fighters once more in ring.
Amir Tyson’s reaction to the training footage was to propose a scenario where Fury facing Joshua would “shut down the UK lol,” indicating the massive interest such a fight would generate. While there’s obvious enthusiasm from both camps, with Joshua’s promoter expressing consistent interest, the logistics of streaming rights could pose a hurdle, although nothing insurmountable.

Froch has expressed doubt as to Joshua’s capability of providing serious competition based on previous defeats but acknowledges its immense appeal nonetheless.
Tyson Fury remains undecided as to his boxing future; yet, discussions and anticipation among boxing fans and figures continue about facing Anthony Joshua again in a fight that promises an incredible spectacle and poses the intriguing question “Can Anthony Joshua defeat Tyson Fury?”. The prospect is an exciting one indeed!
