American former professional boxer,
Evander Holyfield, who reigned as the
undisputed champion in both the
cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions,
has advised Nigerian world heavyweight
champion, Anthony Joshua to avoid fighting
Tyson Fury.
Joshua recently defeated Ukrainian Wladimir
Klitschko at Wembley, while Fury also beat
the veteran in 2015, but Fury has not fought
since the shock win over Klitschko, though
he has been attempting to goad Joshua into
a big money bout.
However, former world champion, Holyfield
feels Joshua fighting Fury would be the
wrong move. “Joshua has to think about his
image. He doesn’t need to be against
someone like Fury who jokes a lot and is
seen in a different light,” Holyfield told the
Sun on Sunday.
“Joshua has talked about becoming the first
billionaire fighter and if he is serious then
he will need the big-name fights. And Fury
really isn’t one of those for Joshua.”
Holyfield also adviced 27-year-old Joshua, if
he gets a rematch against the 41-year-old
Klitschko. “It would be a bona fide rematch,
but Joshua has to avoid starting to have an
ego,” Holyfield added.
“He must avoid thinking ‘I don’t have to
work as hard this time, I’ve proved I can
beat him and I can do it again’.”
