Anthony Joshua offers Tyson Fury chance to become ‘superstar’
World heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has offered WBC champion, Tyson Fury, a chance to become a superstar by becoming his manager.
Speaking during an interview with Daily Mail ahead of his fight with Kubrat Pulev on December 12, Joshua drew attention to the most anticipated unification bout with Fury.
Should Joshua successfully defend his world heavyweight titles against his mandatory challenger, Pulev, the world could be set for the unification bout with Fury in 2021.
“I do think he should come over to Matchroom and 258 Management and let us handle his career,’ Joshua said. “He’s a superstar, he’s a superstar in the making with the right management. He could go all the way.
“Build it up, award him Sports Personality of the Year. That video he did (on Wednesday, when he asked to be removed from the SPOTY shortlist) should be him saying, “I’m accepting my award”, not that, “I don’t want to be a part of it.”
“We’ll have a look at his PR, we’ll strip it all back and make this fight what it’s supposed to be. He’s got a lot of potential.”
Joshua currently holds the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles, while Fury holds the WBC and Ring Magazine after defeating Deontay Wilder during their rematch in February.
