These stats suggest a tight comparison but delve deeper and Fury comes out on top. Joshua meanwhile has taken the vaunted zero from six men and taken on just two foes with more losses than wins. Tyson has only met five opponents with losing records and has faced taken on undefeated rivals on an impressive eight occasions. This is where Fury has certainly compensated for his abbreviated amateur tenure and certainly a significant factor in why he will likely start a betting favourite over Joshua should they meet in the near future. This proved sensible as he bagged Olympic gold and World silver in just 43 amateur fights, competing regularly against quality fighters, boasting diverse styles, on the international stage.
While he progressed quickly at Finchley ABC then the GB squad, perhaps the Watford man realised he needed greater amateur seasoning given his belated introduction to the sport. Anthony Joshua was, however a later starter, only taking up boxing at the age of 18.

He began at 14, but had presumably already done some training with his fighting family – father John and uncle Peter were both pros. Tyson Fury may well have achieved a great deal in the unpaid code, had he only stayed amateur for a little longer. Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury – 5 key factors
