Mike Tyson didn’t hesitate when asked if he would have beaten Anthony Joshua in his prime
Mike Tyson did not hesitate when asked if he could beat British boxer Anthony Joshua in his prime.
34-year-old Joshua is set to take on fellow Brit Daniel Dubois at Wembley with the IBF belt on offer.
During the pre-fight press conference, Dubois did not say much as he said three times: “I’m ready to fight.”
Meanwhile, Joshua said: “I look at myself as a gladiator and I’m going to step into the arena tomorrow to perform for the people. I started late in boxing but it shows you can achieve anything. I’m not a warrior in the garden yet, I’m still on the battlefield.”
As per The Sun, he said: “Hey, I really like him. You know what he is? He’s really a breath of fresh air. He’s really clean, he really looks clean, he’s a clean guy, he’s a clean fighter, he’s a good puncher. You just wish the best for him. I don’t know. My ego says, ‘nobody would beat you’ – but you look at him and… he just looks beautiful.
He just looks like a fighter, you know? He looks like he was born to do what he has to do. He needs more experience of course, but that will come in life.”
However, Tyson believes when he was at his best in the late 1980s, no one has it in them to beat him – including Joshua and former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Asked if he would beat Joshua and Fury on his Hotboxin’ podcast, Tyson said: “Yes. Listen, if you’re asking me if I was 20 years old, then yes, there’s no doubt. They’re really good fighters and I respect all these skills. It would have been very tough fighting them.”
Back in 2017, Joshua was asked if Tyson would beat him, he said: “Mike Tyson would have battered me. There was no way I could have taken on that guy. I would have taken that paycheck. I would have taken a dive against Tyson.
He was a beast, mate, he was a beast. I give all credit and respect to Tyson. Even now, Tyson is in his 40s going on 50, I still remember Tyson as the young, young 21-year-old. He was that good and made such an impact on the sport.”
