Foreman believes Anthony Joshua is the man to beat

London : Boxing legend George Foreman believes Anthony Joshua is the man to beat at heavyweight level... but has never even heard of Tyson Fury.

The American star, 68, fought against the likes of Muhammad Ali during his long, distinguished career.

But Foreman believes British hero AJ is the main man in heavyweight boxing now - and can’t wait to watch him go toe-to-toe with Deontay Wilder.

On Joshua, Foreman claimed: “I think he’s a legitimate heavyweight champion. He’s on the top of the list as far as one to beat.

“One day when they put together the Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder fight, it would probably be one of the greatest heavyweight fights in boxing in the modern day.

“Anthony Joshua is something special. “What Anthony Joshua has is what every group of fighters should - he is conditioned.

“This guy works out, gets in the ring, gets knocked down in the 11th-round but he’s got legs to get up and fight and even earn a knockout like he did against Klitschko.

“He has the condition and the will to win. He could’ve existed in any era. “I think he’s a good fighter and if he has god matches made then he can probably leave boxing about when he is 30.”
