The debate over who is the top heavyweight in the United Kingdom has been a hot topic in the world of boxing. With names like Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois, and Dillian Whyte in the mix, it’s no surprise that the Brits have taken control of the division. However, one fighter refuses to back down from his claim as the top dog – Anthony Joshua.
The Rise of UK Heavyweight Boxing:
Once dominated by American fighters, the UK has seen a resurgence in their heavyweight division. Thanks to the likes of Fury, Dubois, and Joe Joyce, the Brits have regained their footing and are now considered a force to be reckoned with. But who truly holds the crown as the top heavyweight in the UK?
The Clash of Titans: Fury vs. Usyk:
Currently, Fury is seen as the heavyweight division’s top dog after defeating Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko in the past. However, his upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk for a shot at undisputed could change everything. And with the likelihood of an immediate rematch, the debate over the top heavyweight in the UK will only continue.
Joshua’s Claim to the Top:
Despite Fury’s recent success, Joshua refuses to accept anyone else as the top heavyweight in the UK. With wins over Wilder and Klitschko in his own record, Joshua believes he deserves the title. He will also be facing Francis Ngannou on March 8th, with his sights set on the winner of Fury vs. Usyk.
Who Else is in the Mix?
While the debate may revolve around Fury and Joshua, there are other notable heavyweight contenders in the UK. Names like Zhilei Zhang, Filip Hrgovic, and Jared Anderson are all legitimate threats in their own right. But for Joshua, his focus remains on his own home soil.
Focusing on the UK:
When asked about the rest of the world’s heavyweight talent, Joshua’s response was clear – he’s not concerned. He believes that his main goal is to conquer the UK first before worrying about the rest of the world. His upcoming fight with Ngannou and potential showdown with the winner of Fury vs. Usyk are clear indications of his determination to solidify his claim to the top.
Joshua vs. Ngannou: A Potential Showdown:
While Joshua has his sights set on the winner of Fury vs. Usyk, he cannot overlook his upcoming fight with Ngannou. The former unified champ knows that a win over Ngannou will only strengthen his claim to the top and set him up for bigger challenges in the future.
The Debate Continues:
With Fury and Joshua both staking their claim as the top heavyweight in the UK, the debate will continue to rage on. And with other contenders like Fury or Joe Joyce waiting in the wings, it’s safe to say that the UK’s heavyweight division is in good hands for years to come.
