Tyson Fury shares why he felt "depressed" about Anthony Joshua getting knocked out by Daniel Dubois
Boxing superstar Tyson Fury recently shared his thoughts on Anthony Joshua's defeat against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last month.
In his recent appearance on Sky Sports after the press conference for his upcoming rematch against WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, Fury discussed how he felt after watching longtime rival Joshua suffer a brutal defeat at the hands of Dubois:
"I feel sorry for him at the minute because he’s obviously been cleaned out in his last fight, colded out, five-round spark… He’s gonna have to do that again or not. And then, decide his future.”
Fury added:
"I’ve said it quite a lot actually after every loss I felt a little bit down, [and] deflated… Because when an adversary loses and it’s not to you, you do feel down and depressed about it… It was sad to see a worthy opponent lose his crown.”

The IBF heavyweight title fight took place on Sept. 21 this year at Wembley Stadium in London. It was a clash between two-time heavyweight champion Joshua, who was aiming for his third title, and Dubois, who became the IBF heavyweight champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
In the first round, the 35-year-old was knocked down by Dubois with a right hand. After that, he struggled to get back into the fight. Dubois ultimately landed a right to the jaw to secure the victory by knocking Joshua out in round five.
Tyson Fury on potential Anthony Joshua fight
Tyson Fury lost his WBC heavyweight title to Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 18 this year. He is looking to reclaim the gold in their rematch on Dec. 21 at the same venue.
In the aforementioned interview, when asked about a potential fight with Joshua, 'The Gypsy King' acknowledged that it remains on the table despite 'AJ's' recent loss:
“Yeah, I’d still fight him. Whether he’s got five losses, 10 losses, or 20, it’s not important… I still think it would be an entertaining, interesting fight for the paying pundit.”
