Former super-mid-weight world champion George Groves has doubted about Tyson Fury’s last pension, and insists that the Gypsy King returns to Anthony Joshua a long-awaited struggle that Groves believes is now inevitable.
Spend against LottolandGroves said: “Fury has now retired five times, so we know that pension means nothing.”
While he acknowledges the short -term benefits of stepping away, Groves believes that Furies return is only a matter of time: “He has no belt to be stripped, and if he comes out of retirement, as he did before, it can add value and excitement to the fight. “
Looking ahead, Groves expects that the competition will happen later this year, probably in Saudi -Arabia:
“They are both prize hunters. They have deserved enough, but they will not leave the table while there is anything left. They will fight each other – and I would like to see it.”
He described it as the final collision of their generation: “Who wins, can say,” I have defeated you. I own you. ” That arranges the debate: who had the better career, the larger fighting, the better victories.
“Fury has been retired five times – we know it means nothing” – Groves Backs AJ Showdown
Fans are still waiting for Fury to finally accept AJ – do you think we see it happening?
George Groves: “He has now retired five times, so we know that pension means nothing.”
“There are advantages for retiring. You no longer have to live as an athlete or stick to the British boxing administration of control -requirements. He has no belt to be stripped, and if he comes out of retirement, as he has done, it can add value and excitement to the fight.”
‘I am almost certain that he will fight against Anthony Joshua as soon as Joshua recovers from injuries or elbow surgery. That will probably be later this year, probably in Saudi Arabia. They are both prize hunters. They both have their entire lives boxing. They have earned enough and have achieved enough, but they will not leave the table while there is something for them. “
“They will fight each other – and I would like to see it.”
“Who wins can say:” I have defeated you. I own you. “They will finally arrange the debate about who had the better career, the bigger fights, the better victories.
“They have been the faces of British boxing for more than ten years Since Joshua won the Olympic Games in 2012 and Fury won the world title shortly thereafter. I think they will fight. There is no way in which Fury does not return.”
“Looking at his other options, he will not come back to a lower level. He will not get any other fight with Usyk. He does not fight against Francis Ngannou in a cage, which might be nice but probably will not happen.”
Carl Froch said it would be a mismatch if Fury retired to face Joshua. Do you agree?
George Groves:“I don’t know. It depends on what each of them has left.”
“Joshua’s last loss for Daniel Dubois was quite devastating. Dubois got that night well; he jumped on Joshua, who probably wanted to take the fight. He could not, and he was poorly eliminated, on the biggest stage, on the tail end of his career. That is serious miles.”
“But Furies also had to lose back-to-back, maybe three if you record the Ngannou fight, that made no impression. He was lucky to make the decision. Then he lost twice to Usyk. That is probably just as mental as Joshua’s loss for Dubois.”
“I think it’s a pick-so fight. Fury’s heavier, more agile, better boxing IQ, faster hands. Joshua is still a great athlete, suffocates ridiculously hard and has a lot of great experience.
