Tyson Fury has issued a strong warning to Anthony Joshua about losing muscle and changing his style ahead of his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr.
After a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz at the Madison Square Garden in June 2019, Anthony Joshua will be hoping to win back his titles as he gets a chance to face Ruiz in Saudi Arabia on December 7.
Recently, Joshua revealed boasted about his trimmer physique and how he intends to expose and defeat Ruiz in a rematch.
However, Tyson Fury remains adamant that the British-Nigerian boxer shouldn’t try to work on a new fighting style to defeat Ruiz.
“I see he’s lost a bit of weight, he’s been taking notice of people saying he’s got too muscle muscle on him,” Fury told BT Sport.
“But really that can be taken out of context as well. ‘You can’t change a bull into a racehorse. It doesn’t work like that. ‘A racehorse can’t tow a wagon or a heavy load. Doesn’t work.
“So if you take that big heavy horse, strip his muscle off, and then put him in the same cart he was in trying to pull that heavy load again he’s not going to manage it.
“So I think they are going to try to lose weight and try to move a lot. But you can’t do that in one camp, that takes a lifetime practice.”
“We saw Tony Bellew try to do it against [Oleksandr] Usyk, tried copying my style but after eight rounds his legs went. It works, it’s effective, I’ve been successful 29 times in a row with it. You can’t learn it overnight.”
