- Anthony Joshua criticised Tyson Fury for taking encouragement from Daniel Dubois 's performance against him, labelling Fury a "d***-rider" for not creating his own success.
- Joshua's remarks were made ahead of his press conference for an upcoming fight against Kristian Prenga on 25 July in Saudi Arabia, which is a precursor to his contracted bout with Fury later this year.
- Fury had previously commented on Dubois dropping Joshua multiple times, implying that Joshua has a weak chin, despite other formidable opponents failing to achieve the same.
- Joshua countered by referencing Fury's own past struggles, including being dropped by Francis Ngannou and losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk, contrasting these with Fury's attempt to capitalise on Dubois's victory.
- Joshua also disclosed that he has been training with Oleksandr Usyk and plans to study Fury's "psyche" by reading his book, while Fury is reportedly seeking his own warm-up fight before their highly anticipated clash.
