Former three-time, super-middleweight World Champion Carl Froch recently shared his thoughts with BBC on how the two may fight against each other. He did this by comparing their last bout with the same boxer, Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko.

Froch described Joshua and Fury's fight with Klitschko separately. According to him, Fury's fight was "kind of played with Klitschko," while Joshua "struggled" as he fought the Ukranian boxer.

The Fury versus Joshua fight is still in the works, but the former champion already has something to say to Fury. He said that the boxer should get into shape before he takes the challenge of being a unified world champion. He stated, "He's been out of the ring two years, he's had issues that I don't want to bring up, so is he going to be the same guy who beat Klitschko?"

"Of course he isn't," Froch answered his own question. He then followed by saying, "He's probably going to need a couple of fights but he's certainly a really exciting and interesting addition to the heavyweight division." The former champion might have said this due to a recent incident that happened to the boxer.

Fury has recently been involved in an anti-doping hearing, which could jeopardize the fight between him and Joshua.

Aside from Froch, another man outside the ring talked about the two fighters. Boxing promoter Frank Warren said to BT Sport, as reported by The Sun, "Tyson wants to fight; it's what he should be doing, fighting."

The promoter is desperate to see the fight between the two boxers and would like to see it very soon saying, "I know mentally he's got himself back to where he was when he won the world title, and the game needs him." Warren also explained that Joshua will never get the world title if will not be able to beat Fury.

With the issues surrounding the boxers, it is still unknown when the big fight will actually happen.
