Many boxing fans have noticed a problem, that is, after Tyson Furi defeated Deonte Wild again in three battles, another famous player in his rank, Anthony Joshua, has remained silent, which is somewhat abnormal, because after the first two confrontations between Furi and Wild, Joshua was very active and commented almost immediately.
Now, after nearly a week of silence, Joshua has finally broken that state of mind by posting a mysterious message through social media.
Last month, the 32-year-old Joshua lost to Orekund Usik at his Home Stadium in England, losing the WBA, IBF, WBO three boxing champion golden belts, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, Joshua has decided to resume the game immediately, and the rematch date is initially set for the first quarter of next year.
Compared with the embarrassing defeat of Joshua, the Englishman Fury performed very well, and he engaged in a ups and downs battle with Wilder, who, although he was knocked down twice in the game, dismantled Wilder more strongly, and he almost firmly controlled the situation on the field, and finally made it difficult for his opponent to stand in the 11th round with a heavy punch.
The three battles between Fury and Wilder are arguably one of the greatest contests in their field, especially compared to Joshua's clash with Usik last month. Today, Joshua flies to California, supposedly to deal with some of the problems that followed the loss to Usik. Joshua took a photo of Los Angeles' Lawson Avenue and uploaded it, only to see him sitting bare-chested in front of a memorial wall for late rapper Nepsy Hassell, quoting one of the other's most famous songs as the photo caption, "Marathon Continues."
Joshua's release of the news has sparked widespread speculation that the "marathon continues" signal that the loss to Usik is just an obstacle to be overcome in the marathon, or suggests that a potential confrontation with Fury is still a marathon battle.
As a result of the shocking performance against Usik, there are calls for Joshua to sack current coach Robert McLaken, because the other side seems helpless when Joshua fights Usik. This time, Joshua traveled to the United States, and it was rumored that he might be looking for a new coach to cooperate, that is, to add a technical coach to the team, so as to help him avenge Usik in The Second World War. The reality is that Joshua must develop a new tactic and adjust to the best condition, otherwise he is likely to lose to Usik again in the rematch.
