Joshua offers to spar Fury as preparation for beating Wilder

[TitoFan]

What help would THAT be?

Has Joshua fought Wilder that we know of? No.

Does Joshua have the same style as Wilder? No.

Is Joshua some master boxer who can dissect Wilder's style for the benefit of Fury? No.



So to that effect, WTF's the difference between Joshua and just any other sparring partner? Exactly.

Who needs comedy... when we have boxing?

Doesn't make much sense. AJ going for the participation trophy or what. Fury would do better to hand two bricks to a random drunk on roller skates and offer him a 20 to swing freely at him for an accurate Wilder simulation.

Fury hàs accepted the offer and I think AJ would be perfect sparring, virtually the same size and height as Wilder too.

I would think bringing in a potential marquee opponent for sparring would always create more trouble than it's worth with the conflict of interest. Plenty of top fighters will have sparred with each other if they happen to be in the same gym, but I've never heard of of this scenario happening.
