Why would Mike Tyson blacklist Anthony Joshua who is currently the undisputed IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO titles holder as one of his favourites boxers? This is the question pertinently asked by boxing fans all over the world.
More surprising and worrisome is that, this came barely 48 hours after Anthony Joshua (AJ) paid tributes to boxing legend, Mike Tyson, as the “greatest of all time”,
The 53-year old who was the heavyweight champion in the 1990s seems not be an admirer of Joshua as he did not include him in the list of his current favourite boxers.
Tyson included AJ’s heavyweight rivals – Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Vasyl Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis and Andy Ruiz Jr, who who defeated Joshua in June 2019 and subsequently lost to him later in a rematch in Saudi Arabia.
