By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye is in the belief that IBF heavyweight belt holder Anthony Joshua (25-0, 18 KOs) can already face IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) right now and beat him. Haye notes that Fury is slow is on his feet and not agile to escape someone like Joshua. Haye says that Joshua beat Fury up in sparring in the past when Joshua was still an amateur.
We don’t know whether this was in fact true or not. This is more of a case of Fury complimenting Joshua after a sparring session and he may have gone a little bit overboard in slathering on the compliments. Of course, there’s also rumors that David Price took care of Joshua during a sparring session, so it’s hard to know what reality is when it comes to rumors.
“I think he’s ready for Tyson Fury right now. If you look at Fury’s style, he’s very loose and not very fast or agile,” said Haye via skysports.com.
