Tyson Fury’s cousin Hughie says ‘stiff’ Anthony Joshua is ‘FINISHED’ as he opens door to all-British fight


TYSON FURY’S cousin Hughie says Anthony Joshua is “FINISHED” – but would still take him on in an all-British fight.

Joshua returned to winning ways in April, beating Jermaine Franklin over 12 rounds following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk.

But Fury – the cousin of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – was left far from convinced by the performance.

He told Boxing King Media: “Stiff. Big stiff, he is shot. After Usyk, that’s it, he’s finished.

“That is one fight that I would like, I didn’t really rate much of the [Franklin] fight.”

Joshua, 33, is now in line to fight Deontay Wilder as talks progress for a blockbuster in Saudi Arabia in December.

Fury’s cousin Tyson could also unify the belts against Oleksandr Usyk around the same time in the Middle East.

Meanwhile Fury, 28, looks set to return this year having not boxed since October 2021, when he beat Christian Hammer.

The heavyweight was due to face American Michael Hunter in October but he withdrew due to illness.

And upon his comeback, Fury has set his sights on AJ in a domestic dust up.

He said: “You never know, 100 per cent.

“These fights can just happen at the click of a finger, so [once I] get myself back up there, these are the fights that I want.

“Joshua has done well out of the game, but I don’t think that he was the same fighter as what he once was.”
