Here he said, “To be honest, I could beat Anthony Joshua. Doesn’t have a jab at all. I would out-jab him. I don’t think he’d be able to touch me. I’d put him to sleep. Fury would beat him up… He’s just straightforward, he’s not hard to hit.”

Breland, 57, is also a former boxer, and he feels Joshua isn’t tough to beat. Even at his current age, he believes he can knock Joshua out cold. Breland pointed out that ‘AJ’ doesn’t throw jabs at all and he can ‘out-jab’ him if they collide. Though Joshua has crushing power, the American asserted that he’s only a straightforward fighter, relying on his strength.
