Tyson Fury fights close to Anthony Joshua but still faces hurdles to clear

Joshua’s comeback against Prenga was one of the bravest moves of his career, but it also highlighted his well-known vulnerabilities. After falling twice in his first world-class heavyweight bout, he somehow recovered.

It also came under unusual circumstances.

Joshua was fighting his best friends Sina Gami and Latif ‘Lats’ Ayodele for the first time after surviving a car accident in Nigeria. His emotional burden was evident as he struggled to speak in a post-fight interview.

Its recent results and performance raise eyebrows. Since the end of 2023, Joshua has defeated Otto Wallin, former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, YouTube boxer Paul and the unknown Pringa. The last time he faced a top-level operation, he was badly beaten by Daniel DuBois.

Nor does anger seem untouchable. Arslanbek showed off Makhmudov in April before comfortably beating Wach, but suffered back-to-back defeats in previous world titles against Oleksandr Usyk. In the year His split-decision win over Ngannou at 2023 came after he was beaten by the MMA star.

Perhaps the question is now who is the best heavyweight but who has lost a little.

Joshua still has knockout power, but Fury’s movement, ring IQ and adaptability make him a favorite.
