Joshua's remarks were made ahead of his press conference for an upcoming fight against Kristian Prenga on 25 July in Saudi Arabia, which is a precursor to his contracted bout with Fury later this year. Fury had previously commented on Dubois dropping Joshua multiple times, implying that Joshua has a weak chin, despite other formidable opponents failing to achieve the same. Joshua countered by referencing Fury's own past struggles, including being dropped by Francis Ngannou and losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk, contrasting these with Fury's attempt to capitalise on Dubois's victory. Joshua also disclosed that he has been training with Oleksandr Usyk and plans to study Fury's "psyche" by reading his book, while Fury is reportedly seeking his own warm-up fight before their highly anticipated clash.
