Joshua used his Twitter handle to respond to Fury’s antics, he siad:
“Yea calm. I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if you’re really about it shout @258mgt (Joshua’s management). I’ll be ready in December.”
Fans have, however, urged the British-Nigerian to exercise restraint under the same Joshua post.
Popular influencer, Daniel Regha wrote,
“Anthony Joshua don’t get ahead of yourself, you are far from ready to fight Tyson Fury judging by your performance against Usyk in which you lost twice in a row; you are no doubt a great boxer, but you are not on Fury’s level yet. Act wise, rebuild yourself before taking on a challenge. No offense.”
Another user, @KingBalmainn commented,
“I know you’re not a coward Anthony but sometimes there are battles you don’t fight physically. Tyson Fury is a different type of beast, to be honest.”
@currentiyke joked that Joshua wanted more punishments,
“Lmaooo the one you’ve collected never satisfy you?”
Another Twitter user, @ogunsanyah did not think Joshua had any chance at all writing,
“Lmao. You that Fury will beat like a lost ram. You that is fighting like you’re applying makeup. Like you didn’t see how aggressive Mike (Tyson) was during those awesome years.”
Olufemi Zosu, though, thinks Joshua shouldn’t be deterred,
“Why are you guys discouraging AJ? “Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit”. Joshua, just make a wish and believe in Jah it gonna come through.”
