Iron Mike's Wish: Tyson Wants AJ vs. Wilder After Fury

FANTASY (legend talk). Mike Tyson is picking Tyson Fury to beat Anthony Joshua in Cardiff on Dec. 11, Boxing News reports (boxingnewsonline.net). Talking to DJ WHOO KID, he already had AJ's next fight in mind: "Tyson's always been known to handle pressure well, but it's going to be interesting to watch this fight. I know Joshua's going to be throwing faster punches, but his punches can't be faster than Deontay Wilder's." And then: "I wanna see him [Joshua] fight Deontay."

Reality check. Nothing is planned. Joshua has Fury first (on Boxbid), and Wilder is busy with his own Dec. 11 undercard shuffle between Opetaia and Verhoeven (on Boxbid). AJ vs. Wilder is the fight boxing talked about for years and never made. Iron Mike just wants it back on the menu, darlings. 🍽️
