Tyson Fury compares Anthony Joshua unfavourably to Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury has once again claimed that Deontay Wilder is a better heavyweight contender than Anthony Joshua, and believes he is more of a fighting man.

Fury and Wilder had a famous trilogy of fights between 2018 and 2021, with the Brit winning two by knockout and drawing the first one. Their initial deal came after Wilder was unable to get a deal done to face Joshua, with varying reports from either side as to why the super-fight didn't happen.

And now with Fury and Wilder having squared off three times, while Joshua has faced neither in his two runs as world champion, the current WBC title holder has argued that his rival refuses to face opponents he would be the underdog against. He has lost three times in his career, twice to Oleksandr Usyk and once to Andy Ruiz Jr, but has only once entered a fight as the underdog.
