Tyson Fury believes Anthony Joshua is "chinny" after watching Daniel Dubois halt Fabio Wardley in 11 rounds on Saturday night. Fury's reasoning is that Joshua, unlike Wardley, got dropped several times by Dubois when they fought in 2024. Fury, of course, is expected to at last collide with Joshua later in the year should they come through warm-up bouts in the interim.
"I've just sat here thinking after Dubois' unbelievable fight," Fury said on social media.
Dubois' incredible victory is his fourth in his last five bouts. After losing to Oleksandr Usyk in 2023, Dubois went on to halt Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Joshua before losing a return to Usyk last July. His victory over Wardley saw Dubois, 23-3 (22 KOs), claim the WBO heavyweight title.
"Dubois fought 'Big Baby' Miller, stopped him but never put him down," Fury continued. "Then he fought Hrgovic, stopped him but never put him down. He fought Wardley... an unbelievable fight, stopped him but never out him down. He hit Usyk with some bombs, never put him over.
"Yet he fights Anthony Joshua and pummels him and puts him to the floor [four] times. I'm not saying Anthony Joshua's chinless but there are the facts. Take it as you wish and as you will. Everybody else never went over, not a singular person, 'Big Baby' Miller, Hrgovic, Usyk or Wardley but Joshua goes down [four times]. Chinny!"
Fury, who is targeting a November showdown with Joshua, added the details of his next "unbelievable, exciting" fight will be revealed soon. The 37-year-old, who ended his latest hiatus with victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, has suffered eight knockdowns during his 35-2-1 (24 KOs) career, beating the count every time.
