“Anthony Joshua’s fought not one heavyweight in his prime. He fought Wladimir Klitschko at 42 years old, Kubrat Pulev 40-odd, Alexander Povetkin 40-odd.
“They’re all former good men, back in the early 2000s, late 2000s, but not in 2020-odd. They were good men 10 years ago.”
Fury does have a point about the most glamorous names on Joshua’s fight resume being past their prime, but the fight with Usyk is set to change that.
The Ukrainian is an undefeated Olympic gold medallist who, despite being 34-years-old, is still at the peak of his powers.
