The much-awaited heavyweight collision between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is finally official. After months of talks and rigmarole, the British duo finally signed on the dotted line to confront each other. They’ll touch gloves with each other for the undisputed heavyweight title.

That said, this battle was bound to garner attention from fans and fighters in the world. Many bigwigs from boxing have even laid out their prediction for this fight.

Lately, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson, was in a chat with Fight Hub TV. Here he gave an astonishing take on whom he envisions winning the Fury vs Joshua bout.

“I like Joshua a lot, he don’t punch faster. Maybe he punches harder than Wilder. He doesn’t punch faster than Wilder. If he doesn’t punch faster than Wilder, he’s not gonna f**kin touch this guy. That’s just what I see. He punches hard, but he doesn’t punch fast. If Tyson Fury can get away from Wilder’s fast punches, Joshua might be in trouble,” said Tyson.

On his last outing, the ‘Gypsy King’ smothered Deontay Wilder and vanquished him from his title. He walked Wilder down and didn’t let him take control of the ring. Furthermore, Fury didn’t let the ‘Bronze Bomber’ affect him with his dynamite-like punches.

In the above interview, Tyson asserted Wilder has comparatively fast hands than Joshua, and yet he couldn’t terrify the latter. If Joshua doesn’t punch rapidly, then he might end up on the losing vertical in the biggest fight of his life.
