ANTHONY JOSHUA has admitted former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson would have destroyed him in a fight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Brit star, 27, claimed the American heavyweight would have been far too good for him had they been active at the same time.<\/p>\n
Tyson was the unified, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and to this day is regarding as one of the all-time greats.<\/p>\n
On \u201cIron Mike\u201d, Joshua said: \u201cMike Tyson would have battered me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no way I could have taken on that guy. I would have taken that pay cheque.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what I done against Klitschko in that sixth round when I took that dive? I\u2019m joking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would have taken a dive against Tyson. He was a beast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was that good and made such an impact in the sport of boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joshua is just kicking off his career as a champion after his thrilling win over Wladimir Klitschko in April to add the WBA belt to his IBF title.<\/p>\n
The Briton has been dubbed the man to dominate the division, but is clearly unsure of how he would have fared alongside Tyson.<\/p>\n
Joshua is currently lining up his next fight, with Ukrainian ace Klitschko weighing up his options.<\/p>\n
Should the pair go through with a rematch, the 20,000-capacity T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is being eyed up, with November 11 the expected date.<\/p>\n
If, however, Klitschko opts against the fight, Deontay Wilder could be a potential opponent for Joshua.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
