What Wembley crowd did to Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury ahead of Anthony Joshua fight speaks volumes
by Connor O'Neill · Manchester Evening NewsTyson Fury and Tommy Fury received mixed receptions from the Wembley crowd ahead of Anthony Joshua’s huge heavyweight showdown against Daniel Dubois.
Dubois will put his IBF world heavyweight title on the line when he takes on the former Team GB fighter. Joshua has rebuilt and worked his way back to the mandatory challenger position following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk two years ago.
Joshua has fought at Wembley three times before, while this will be Dubois first fight at the home of English football. And ahead of the showdown, the Wembley crowd made their feelings clear to the Fury siblings.
As the camera inside the iconic venue showed Tommy Fury on the big screens, his appearance was greeted with a loud chorus of boos. In fairness, the former Love Island contestant, who recently split up from Molly-Mae Hague, took the jeers in good spirits.
However, his older sibling Tyson received a very different reception. His appearance on the big screens was greeted with huge cheers from those inside Wembley. The former heavyweight world champion will be keeping a close eye on tonight’s main event.
A fight against Joshua has long been talked about, and it has been suggested the bout could finally take place next year. However, before that, Fury will return to the ring to take on Usyk in December following his points loss to the 37-year-old back in May.
Speaking ahead of tonight's fight at Wembley, Fury said: "I spoke with him this morning; he said the same thing; he’s in the same frame of mind as I am about Daniel’s chances. He thinks Daniel’s going to do the business, so that’ll be the unification next year."
