His 19 victories in UFC heavyweight competition are second-most in company history behind Andre Arlovski, who pulled off 23 wins. With a win in Edmonton he’s closing in on Arlovski.
Tyson Fury still wants Anthony Joshua
Despite his recent IBF title fight loss, Anthony Joshua is still an opponent Tyson Fury would like to face.
”I’d still fight him whether he’s got five losses, 10 losses or 20. It’s not important because, at this stage of our careers, it’s about having good fights,” Fury recently said.
Fury will face heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch on December 21 after losing their first fight via a split decision in May.
