Fury Vs. Joshua Is '5 Years Too Late'

According to Joshua's promoter, now is the time for a long awaited superfight with Fury. According to Till, that time was five years ago.

2025 will be the year Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury finally fight ... if A.J. has his way, that is.

While Tyson Fury is currently licking his wounds from a second decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk weeks ago, Joshua and his promoter are talking up the long-awaited superfight.

"2025, I am targeting Tyson Fury," Joshua told Sky Sports.

"Has there ever been a better time?" Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn asked the same outlet. "They're both coming off defeats, both on the back end of their careers. One in Wembley, one in Riyadh, two fights in 2025."

That sounds pretty good to us, but Darren Till believes there was a better time: 2020.

"Five years too late, no one is a**ed," Till declared on X (formerly Twitter). "Respect the f**k out of the both of you. But you and your promoters wanted to play who's got the biggest dick so the fight is just like yeh… we'll watch it but we're not f**king a**ed."

"Why on gods green earth didn't yous fight when yous were both on tears years ago?" Till continued. "It's not the same now and that is why Dana is laughing again. Soon as the best reach the top they fight each other. Tyson and A.J. have been fighting everyone but each other and that was the fight to make years ago at Wembley. But obvs that was back when both thought the other didn't need the other and your promoters were in the toilets measuring their dicks and their egos."

"Sorry to rant but I think a lot of people will agree," he concluded. "Actually feel like it's an insult to the fanbase to give yous hundreds of millions when really we should have got this fight years ago so yeh… f**k off A.J. we're not a**ed mate!"

While Till is right that Fury vs. Joshua was at a fever pitch before Usyk dismantled both fighters, this fight is still within it's expiry date, if not the 'best before.' It does need to happen now, and with Saudi money still in play we wouldn't be surprised if Hearn's two-fight prediction of Wembley and Riyadh does come together for 2025.

As for Till, he's not passing up on any opportunity to generate headlines or trash the Fury family as he approaches a January 18th fight against Anthony Taylor at Misfits X Series 20 in Manchester. "The Gorilla" was originally set to fight Tyson Fury's little brother Tommy, but Tommy was so put off by the threat of getting kicked in the head that he walked away from the fight.
