World boxing champion, Anthony
Joshua, has admitted that there was no way he could have beaten Mike Tyson when
the American champion was in his prime.
Joshua reclaimed his WBA, IBF,
WBO, and IBO belts from Andy Ruiz in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, almost six
months after he lost it at Madison Square Garden.
His defeat to Ruiz was his first
during his professional career. But the Briton feels he would lose to Tyson if
he was still fighting.
“Mike Tyson would have battered
me! There was no way I could have taken on that guy. I would have taken that
paycheque. You know what I did against Klitschko in that 6th round when I took
that dive? I’m joking.
“I would have taken a dive
against Tyson. He was a beast. I give all credit and respect to Tyson. Even
though Tyson is going on like 50 now, I still remember Tyson as the young,
young 21-year-old.
“He was that good and made such
an impact in the sport of boxing,” he said according to SportingLife.
