It could’ve been me – Tyson Fury reacts to Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Daniel Dubois
British heavyweight boxer, Tyson Fury has reacted to Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Daniel Dubois in Saturday’s heavyweight fight.
Fury claimed he could also have been on the receiving end of Joshua’s shock defeat to Dubois at Wembley.
Recall that Dubois demolished Joshua in five rounds.
Joshua was the favourite to beat Dubois in the first defence of his IBF heavyweight title.
But the 34-year-old has now faced calls to retire from boxing after losing to the 27-year-old boxer.
Reacting, Fury, who was sat ringside at Wembley, said after the fight: “He did a very good job and fair play to young Dan.
“Everybody wrote him off, you know. Coming here he was the world champion and everybody treated him like he was a bum and he showed what he is made of and it’s very good for him, fantastic, fair play.
“It’s heavyweight boxing, it happens, you get knocked spark out, it could’ve been me, in the heavyweight division that is what happens, one punch from being smashed, knocked out.”
He added, “I think what went wrong [for Joshua] is what always goes wrong in heavyweight boxing, a good right-hander on the end of the chin, and that was it.”
