Joyce’s Manager: Tyson Fury Will Not Attack Anthony Joshua Like Deontay Wilder
Follow Us
Most of the boxing community has its favor on Tyson Fury over Anthony Joshua as the heavyweight champions are supposed to collide this year. However, many believe Joshua would emerge aggressive, making it difficult to deal for Fury.
Although the WBC champion has overpowered a knockout artist in Deontay Wilder, the same may not happen against Anthony Joshua. Boxing manager Sam Jones connected with Behind The Gloves podcast to shed his opinion on the matchup. Taking note to a few loopholes in Fury’s game, Jones previewed that ‘The Gypsy King’ wouldn’t chase down ‘AJ’ as he did against Wilder.
“I mean Tyson (has) been dropped a couple of times in fights. I personally don’t believe he will attack (Anthony) Joshua, I don’t believe he (Tyson Fury) will come at Joshua the same way he came with Wilder because Joshua is not a 15-stone man like Wilder,” said Sam Jones.

Moreover, Jones predicted to see a clinical showdown from Fury, much similar to his performance against Wladimir Klitschko. That said, Joshua has also beaten Klitschko in the past and can use the blueprints to vanquish Tyson Fury in the future.
Previewing the heavyweight clash, Sam Jones added, “Joshua is a is 18-stone, big strong man. I don’t think he (Tyson Fury) would be able to go through him the same way he went through Wilder. You are gonna see more of the Klitschko performance to come out, in my opinion.”
