Debate is still raging about where Anthony Joshua is in his career, with Andy Lee suggesting he needs another fight before sharing the ring with Tyson Fury.
Joshua has had a turbulent couple of years ever since initially getting back to winning ways following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk that left him without any of his world titles.
He then stepped into the ring with IBF ruler Daniel Dubois and was knocked out inside five rounds and ended up having a year out of the ring.
Last December, he returned with a knockout win against the overmatched Jake Paul, and was then involved in a car accident in which two of his closest friends were sadly killed.
Last weekend, he took a warm-up fight in preparation for the showdown with Fury that is planned for later in the year and found himself down twice in the opening round before coming back in the second to win with an impressive KO just before the bell rang.
Speaking to Sun Sport, Fury’s coach Lee suggested delaying the all-British heavyweight clash.
“If I was ‘AJ’ I would take another fight. I know people will go crazy. Put it back to summer next year, at Wembley, and take another fight in between. I would. Activity, you know, Jake Paul, then an accident, a terrible accident, then this one. I would have another tune-up fight. I wouldn’t rush it.”
