Anthony Joshua’s Wikipedia page edited, shows he has already LOST to Tyson Fury

The undisputed championship bout between heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is almost official, with a date and venue yet to announced. However, according to AJ’s Wikipedia page, the bout has already happened, with the WBA, IBF and WBO king losing the clash. Whoever edited the page stated that The Gypsy King came out victorious via a seventh-round KO – in a clash that took place on July 10, 2021, at Wembley. Both the date and location shown on the page are also incorrect, considering Wembley will host the Euro 2020 final on July 11.

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: Is Tyson Fury the culprit?

Anyone in the world can edit a Wikipedia page in order for the platform to have the most up-to-date information on a given subject matter. However, that doesn’t mean all the information on Wikipedia is accurate. The news of these types of mischief goes viral every now and then, with Anthony Joshua being the most recent victim.

Anthony Joshua’s page has since been corrected, with many Twitter users claiming Tyson Fury to be the culprit, considering he has changed Wikipedia pages of his rivals in the past. In 2015, The Gypsy King was banned by Wikipedia after he had altered Wladimir Klitschko’s record ahead of their bout, which Fury went on to win.
