Promoter Frank Warren still believes a Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight can happen. He points out that their fans are eager to see the two battle it out in a long-awaited clash. Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) could fight Tony Yoka and Jake Paul. Warren just signed the 2016 Olympic gold medalist Yoka.<\/p>\n
The Ultimate Lure for Fury<\/p>\n
Fury, 37, is too young to stay retired for good. Warren points out that Fury is a \u201cwealthy\u201d man. So, he doesn\u2019t need money, but he\u2019s also a fighting man. It\u2019s what he\u2019s done for much of his life. As such, he might be able to resist the temptation to return for the long-awaited mega-fight<\/p>\n
Joshua is targeting the fight against the popular Jake Paul next in a contest that could be bigger than the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford event. Once Joshua gets through the Paul fight, there\u2019s the possibility of Fury if he chooses to come out of retirement. When Tyson sees the amount of fan interest that Joshua-Paul attracts, he\u2019ll be lured out of his brief slumber to finally face AJ in what promoter Eddie Hearn calls \u201cThe Battle of Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joshua vs. Olympic Winner Yoka<\/p>\n
Even if Fury doesn\u2019t choose to resume his career, Joshua vs. Yoka would attract a lot of interest from fans. The selling point would be two Olympic gold medalists getting it on. Joshua captured an Olympic gold medal for Britain in 2012. As I mentioned earlier, Yoka won his gold medal in the 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n
The Fight Fans Still Demand<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been a lot of talks for a long time, and it heated up again recently. It\u2019s all about whether this fight happens with AJ. For example, if he fights Jake Paul and comes through it, and if Tyson has a fight, who knows if they\u2019ll get it on?\u201d said Frank Warren to Sky Sports News<\/a> about the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight possibility.<\/p>\n \u201cIs it too late? I think there\u2019s tremendous interest in the fight,\u201d said Warren. Every time we talk about Tyson and AJ, that subject comes up \u2013 when are they going to get in the ring together? I can see that fight happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
