Oleksandr Usyk knows how fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would end

Oleksandr Usyk believes that Anthony Joshua would beat Tyson Fury should the two boxers ever meet in the ring.

The 37-year-old is perhaps best placed to call any potential match-up between the British icons after having the measure of both across four fights. The Ukrainian superstar is coming fresh off the back of his latest victory over Fury after he vanquished the Gypsy King on points.

All three judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk's favour as he retained his WBC, WBO, and WBA heavyweight titles. Saturday night's clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia marked the second time Usyk has put Fury to the sword after he first beat him back in May of this year via split decision, while Usyk also toppled Joshua, first in September 2021 and then in August 2022.

While many UK fans are fascinated to see how a fight would play out between the British heavyweights, Usyk was forthright in his convictions when asked, first who was a harder overall opponent, and then who would be the favourite between the two if they fought. Uysk revealed that Fury had been the trickier opponent across two brutal fights, but believes that AJ would beat Fury on "maybe points", via Boxing King Media.

With the prospect of a trilogy making clash between Fury and the Usyk looking some way off, if now a possibility at all, all eyes are now on whether a long awaited bout between Fury and Joshua can be arranged. A potential fight between the duo has been spoken about ever since Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015.
