Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury's smiles and respect will be replaced by a boiling rivalry when their fight gets closer, says Sky Sports Boxing's Johnny Nelson. The British heavyweight rivals traded a few taunts but also shared words of mutual respect at their long-awaited first press conference in London on Wednesday evening. Nelson believes their first media meeting was just a 'soft launch' and expects real animosity to appear ahead of their blockbuster battle in Cardiff on December 11.
He compares the build-up to a 100-metre sprint, where niceties will fade as the fight approaches, leading to increased tension and verbal exchanges. Nelson predicts Tyson Fury's potty mouth will surface, with litigation, threats, and drama escalating until the first bell. He notes the public may have been subdued at the press conference due to prior back-and-forth, but expects the rivalry to intensify as both fighters return to their competitive instincts despite their current composed demeanor.
