Tyson Fury pts. I'm guessing he reverts back to his Klitschko fight form and makes an ugly mess out of the fight. Neither of them will want to get knocked out in this all-British showdown... so earnest exchanges will be hard to come by.
And believe me... if there is a fighter out there capable of making a fight into an ugly spectacle, it's Fury.

With respect this is so off the mark. At some point they will come out swinging. There is genuine beef here but Joshua will also know that his best chance is to capitalise on Fury's arrogance and not rely on outpointing someone who hangs his chin out like forgotten laundry at times.

Fury's over estimates his own ability and it is puzzling how so many knowledgeable boxing fans are taken in by that. Styles make fights, and there is no denying his ability in negating Wlad in a technically great but aesthetically boring fight, but look at the contrast in the roller-coaster that was the Wlad / Joshua fight. Yes Fury is younger than Wlad was but also just as vulnerable to the kind of shots that troubled the big hugging Ukrainian.

Joshua does not have the greatest chin but it is not the glass jaw people are claiming either. He is not going to get anywhere being cautious against a spoiler like Fury, so has to throw the dice and swing for the rafters at some point. Fury is no Usyk and Wilder's utter novice like fundamentals made Fury look so much better than he is. Even so Wilder still caught him.

Can't wait.

It is too good to be true for this fight to happen so quickly.

We have been waiting for ages and suddenly the fight may happen within months. Hopefully they will make the fight because they will be to embarrassed to be the one who pulls out of the fight first.

Bluffing and double bluffing has made the biggest boxing event for ages.

True it's off the mark, but Tyson overestimates his own ability? The guy is a fucking monster, granite chin, tough as nails, and proved he can SMOKE you the way he AXED Wilder in that 3rd fight. Monster power revealed right there, he knocked Wilder almost off his feet like Foreman lifted up Frazier. Nothing ANYWHERE showing any "overrating". He hangs his chin out cuz nobody can smoke 'im. Nothing puzzling about that, so if they are "knowledgeable boxing fans" as you admit, then maybe it's you who sees it askew.

We'll agree that it's up to Joshua, really.

Yes... Fury has "freakish" powers of recovery. But my bet is he won't risk getting tagged clean by Joshua if he can help it, and will use any means necessary to accomplish just that. Granted... the Fury that fought Wilder was not typical Fury. I guess he felt he could easily outbox Wilder and as a result got tagged a few times. Against Joshua, being for the UK bragging rights and all that... I don't put Fury above getting down and dirty like he did against Wlad. So it's up to Joshua to force the issue. If he stays back and tries to outbox Fury... it'll be a boring fight and he'll lose. If he pushes the issue intelligently... he has that puncher's chance.

To be clear, I'd be rooting for Joshua in this one. I've never rated Fury as high as many on here, save for those "points-off-the-curve" victories against Wilder. I credit Fury for breaking that awful stalemate between Wilder and Joshua when many of us fans were ready to hang ourselves. I credit Fury for ending Wlad's mega-boring HW reign. Although I much better enjoyed the Joshua-Wlad fight than the Fury-Wlad fight. Also... Fury is maddeningly self-serving and plays too many games to suit my fancy. I'm ready for him to get KTFO'ed.

Regardless of the outcome of this fight... I'm still holding out for a Wilder-Joshua fight. It's a fight that by all means should have happened years ago.
