Ever since he started his career as a heavyweight, Tyson Fury has always had detractors who underestimate him for one reason or the other. And every single time, he comes out on top to prove why he is one of the best in boxing history. To former champ Carl Froch, watching Anthony Joshua easily get rid of Francis Ngannou in just two rounds proves Tyson Fury is on the decline. He even thinks that the upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk is not going to happen, he believes it will get scrapped. And if it does happen, Tyson Fury will be handed his first professional defeat. Because Froch is convinced that Fury lost his fight against Francis Ngannou.

Speaking at the Boxing Writers Club Froch said: “Fury must have just been having a really bad night – or, like I think, Fury’s past his best. He’s seen better days. I study the sport and I study the fights, and Tyson Fury used to throw 30-plus feints a round. Feint, feint. Draw his opponent in, feint. Double jab, right hand. He’s not doing the feints anymore. He’s doing four or five feints. He’s slow on his feet. He’s been knocked down five times [in recent years]. When you’re hitting the floor and getting hit on the chin and not throwing feints and not as busy as you used to be, that means you’re past your best and you’re on the decline and you’re on the slide.”
Does this mean Fury vs Joshua doesn’t happen?
In order to make the most anticipated fight happen between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, first we need to see the ‘Gypsy King’ beat Oleksandr Usyk. They have a two-fight deal, no matter who wins the first fight on May 18. Anthony Joshua gets to fight whoever comes out on top from these two affairs. This is the perfect opportunity for Tyson Fury to silence critics once more. At least he is getting as ready as he will ever be, judging by the looks of his physique where he appears to be slimmed down and slightly ripped. Do you agree with Froch or is Tyson Fury going to silence one more critic on May 18?
