Fury set to fight joshua for a big price
Ricky Hatton, the British boxing legend, has weighed in on the highly anticipated heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Despite Fury’s retirement announcement in January, Hatton believes he knows what it would take to lure the Gypsy King back into the ring.
Hatton, a close friend and fellow Mancunian of Fury’s, thinks that the “right money” would be enough to persuade Tyson to come out of retirement and face Joshua. In an interview with Sky Sports, Hatton stated, “Tyson’s retired before. It just so happens they were trying to make the Joshua fight. They were trying to make it happen, and it didn’t happen.”
Hatton’s comments suggest that Fury’s retirement may not be as permanent as initially thought. The prospect of a lucrative payday could be enough to tempt Tyson back into the ring, especially for a high-profile fight against Joshua.
The potential bout between Fury and Joshua has been a topic of discussion among boxing fans for months. Although Fury’s retirement announcement seemed to put an end to the speculation, Hatton’s comments have reignited hopes that the fight could still happen.
It’s worth noting that Fury has a history of retiring and then returning to boxing. In 2016, he announced his retirement, only to return to the ring in 2018. If Hatton’s assessment is correct, it’s possible that Fury could be persuaded to come out of retirement again, especially if the financial offer is enticing enough.
For now, boxing fans will have to wait and see if Fury will indeed return to the ring to face Joshua. One thing is certain, however: if the fight does happen, it will be one of the most highly anticipated and closely watched bouts in recent boxing history.
