Mike Tyson would have Beaten Muhammad Ali in their heavyweight prime - Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua gave his opinion on why he believes Mike Tyson would have beaten Muhammad Ali if the boxing legends fought in their prime.  Joshua took part in an Instagram Live session with JD Sports, where fans asked the two-time and current heavyweight champion questions on the boxing world that has been suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.    When questioned on the fairytale fight, Joshua backed Tyson to beat Ali thanks to his use of modern 'science'.   'I just believe Tyson was better schooled because times have evolved,' he added. 'He was more developed with more science, more information. So Tyson would have won - in my humble opinion.'  Do you think so? Drop your comments

Anthony Joshua to fight Kubrat Pulev at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

British world champion Anthony Joshua will fight Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 20 June. Bulgarian Pulev, 38, is the mandatory IBF challenger to take on Joshua, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO titles. Joshua won back the belts with a unanimous points victory over Andy Ruiz Jr. in December. "I am happy to have the opportunity to show the world how strong I really am," said Pulev. It will be Joshua's first fight in the UK since beating Alexander Povetkin at Wembley in September 2018. He was initially due to fight Pulev at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in October 2017 but the Bulgarian withdrew after suffering a shoulder injury in sparring, with Carlos Takam stepping in to replace him at 12 days' notice. Promoter Eddie Hearn said last week that talks were also underway for an all-British unification fight between Joshua and Tyson Fury.
