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.
