Should the stars align, Fury and AJ could fight each other next year.

Tyson Fury believes that Anthony Joshua’s style is tailor-made for him

“AJ’s style is tailor-made for mine. He’s an upright fighter walking forward with a classic defense,” he told Sky Sports. “Strong and powerful. He’s got no footwork, hardly any resilience. And he’s a bit gutless when it comes down to getting clipped.”

Furthermore, he predicted the outcome of the fight. The Brit claims that he will knock out Joshua within 3 rounds. He also mocked AJ for his performance against Andy Ruiz Jr. in the first fight.

“I think I’d knock him out in round two, three rounds. First time I connect on him, his legs will do a dance and I’ll just jump on him like the little fat kid did in America that time.”
