M exican boxing star Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has expressed his support for Anthony Joshua in the highly anticipated potential showdown between Joshua and Tyson Fury. Despite both British heavyweights losing their titles to Oleksandr Usyk, the prospect of an all-British clash remains a hot topic in the boxing world.
In a recent interview with DAZN Boxing, Alvarez was asked who he believes would win if Joshua and Fury finally faced off. Without hesitation, Canelo backed Joshua, the perceived underdog.
“Joshua,” Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, stated confidently.
This match-up has drawn comparisons to past high-profile boxing bouts that took years to materialize, such as the Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao fight in 2015. While that bout eventually happened, it was widely seen as having occurred after both fighters were past their prime.
The Joshua-Fury bout has also faced numerous setbacks, with various negotiations falling through over the years. However, with Joshua set to fight Daniel Dubois for the IBF title and Fury preparing for a rematch against Usyk for the WBO, WBA, and WBC belts, there is renewed hope for this eagerly awaited clash.
If both heavyweights secure victories in their upcoming fights, boxing fans might finally witness the epic showdown that has been years in the making. Alvarez’s prediction adds another layer of intrigue, suggesting that Joshua could have the edge in what would be one of the most significant heavyweight bouts in modern boxing history.
