Sky Sports answers your Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua questions... Of their shared opponents, who do you think did the best? (Craig) They've both fought Oleksandr Usyk twice and they've both lost to him twice. Joshua did not box well in his first one but put in a stronger performance second time around.
Fury though was impressive in his first Usyk fight, he looked strong in the first half of that first fight. At that level, with that opponent, Fury did do the best. But they've both fought Francis Ngannou and Fury struggled whereas Joshua levelled the former UFC champion.
Both have boxed Wladimir Klitschko, Joshua did so later than Fury. AJ faced an older Klitschko, but perhaps one who'd learned lessons from his Fury fight. Klitschko though did give Joshua a more torrid fight while Fury exerted more control and won a decision in Germany.
Ultimately Fury seems to come out ahead of Joshua against their highest level shared opponents, but hard to call really. What does the future hold for each fighter if they win or lose? Will they seek a trilogy with Usyk? (Nem) Fury will seek it, but whether there's a market for it is another question.
Daniel Dubois could be an easier sell for the winner. Neither Fury nor Joshua have a win over Usyk. Their first fights were intriguing enough to justify their rematches.
But a trilogy with Usyk for either Fury or Joshua probably isn't needed. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Why is there a championship belt up for grabs?
