According to Fury, moments like these put things into perspective and highlight the importance of health and safety over competition.
“Boxing aside, you never want to hear that another man has been in an accident,” Fury was quoted as saying. “The most important thing is that he’s alive and able to recover.”
Details surrounding the reported crash remain limited, with Joshua himself yet to make an extensive public statement. However, sources close to the boxer have indicated that he is stable and doing well, easing concerns among fans worldwide.
Despite their long-standing rivalry and years of verbal sparring, Fury’s comments struck a conciliatory tone, earning praise from boxing fans who welcomed the show of sportsmanship.
