Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: Tyson Fury makes prediction for fight

Anthony Joshua is set to take on Oleksandr Usyk this August in Saudi Arabia, looking to avenge his defeat last year. Tyson Fury has had his say on the fight, saying the Ukrainian will win via knockout.

Fury has put it down to AJ’s new trainer Robert Garcia. He believes that with his game plan, he’ll be knocked out inside seven rounds.

In fact, the Gypsy King believes he is the only man that can help Joshua win his fight, given Fury’s record and stature, it’s no surprise to see this claim.

Both Fury and Joshua normally tower over their opponents size wise and Fury is undefeated, so surely he knows the best way to go about fighting smaller opponents.

Talking to Queensbury Promotions, Fury went on to say: “Unless Anthony Joshua gets his a** up to Morecambe and lets me train him for this fight, Robert Garcia and 10 men like him will not make him beat Usyk.

“Because: One, they don’t know him; two, they don’t know what he’s got in his engine; and three, he’s not a little Mexican who can go toe to toe with someone for 15 rounds. 

“If he gets on Usyk from Round 1 and tries to push and be aggressive, he’ll be gassed out after four rounds and get stopped in seven.

“But if he comes to Morecambe Bay and I teach him how to be a real fighting man for 12 rounds and how to deal with these little middleweight people, then he will get a win. But other than that, I see him getting beat again. Two in a row, baby and it’s over.”

There’s no doubting that Fury is clearly confident in his claim and looking at his record, he probably does know the key for AJ to win this fight.

Also, if Joshua loses again, it will set his career back massively, no belts and no claim to fight the best, it will take some recovering from and hard work to get back to
