Even though Fury, 35, and Joshua, 34, are still two of the best fighters in the division, they won’t be around for long.
Which British fighters can therefore emulate the two who appear to be nearing the conclusion of their storied careers? Who has the potential to become well-known in the future?
Boxing commentator Steve Bunce, Scottish former light-middleweight world champion Hannah Rankin, and Manchester lightweight world champion Anthony Crolla, who is now a trainer, discuss their opinions.
Daniel Dubois, the IBF world champion, is my choice. He still will be if Joshua wins over him in September.
“Dubois is a youthful, elderly man. He had the unexpected loss against Joe Joyce and the intriguing and perplexing loss against Oleksandr Usyk. He then triumphed over Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller in back-to-back fights, both times as the underdog. Thus, there’s a good chance he could defeat AJ.
