Floyd Mayweather confirms he will ‘work with Anthony Joshua real soon’ and breaks down ‘intriguing’ Tyson Fury fight
FLOYD MAYWEATHER confirmed he will be ‘working with Anthony Joshua real soon‘ as he broke down the ‘intriguing’ Tyson Fury fight.
Mayweather has enjoyed a blossoming friendship with Joshua in recent years, even showing up ringside at the Brit’s last win in December.
And Fury has also been in the American boxing legend’s company, partying with him in Las Vegas.
But Mayweather – who announced plans to move into coaching last year – revealed he regularly speaks to Joshua.
And while it is not clear what capacity the pair will work alongside each other, it appears something is in the works.
Mayweather, 44, told entrepreneur Rob Moore: “Anthony Joshua has a lot of experience, Tyson Fury as well has a lot of experience.
“But I think with Anthony Joshua losing a fight, that helped him become stronger.
“I look forward to working with Anthony Joshua real soon, we communicate all the time, we talk all the time.
“I’ve met Tyson Fury on a few occasions, great guy, very interesting, after the fight I like to see him sing.
“I haven’t seen him fight a lot of times, I’ve seen him fight probably only twice. I’ve only seen Tyson Fury fight twice, against Deontay Wilder.

“It’s a very intriguing match-up, you can never say what’s going to happen in the sport of boxing.
“Both guys are great competitors. Like I say, me and Anthony Joshua talk on the regular, so I look forward to working with Anthony Joshua.”
Joshua, 31, and Fury, 32, have signed a two-fight deal for their historic undisputed title decider.
It will see, for the first time in heavyweight history, all four WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles on the line.
But nothing will be official until a date and venue is finalised.
