Matchroom director wants Joshua versus Fury fight

Hopes for the bout appeared dimmer following Joshua’s brutal loss to Dubois last month, a result that seemed to dash any potential plans for a fight with Fury after the Gypsy King’s expected rematch with Oleksandr Usyk later this year.

However, speaking to SportsBoom, Smith maintained that public demand for the all-British bout remains strong saying, “Win, lose, or draw, everyone wants to see AJ versus Fury.

“That’s regardless of previous results involving either of them. It needs to happen. People want to see it happen, and I’m sure it will. It’s too big not to happen.”

Smith further emphasised that Joshua, who has rebuilt himself after past defeats, still has the hunger for the sport’s biggest challenges. “Does AJ want to win money or win the titles back? What’s his best route through?” Smith questioned.
