Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Oleksandr Usyk offers prediction

Oleksandr Usyk has given his thoughts on how a potential Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight would play out if the two heavyweight stars ever collide.

For the longest time now, we’ve been waiting to see Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua meet in the middle of the ring. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it hasn’t yet come to fruition. That is largely due to a mixture of timing and money, but it’s still frustrating to know that they’ve been circling one another for years now. Still, even though Fury is technically “retired”, there’s still a belief within the sport that we could see this happen – potentially before the end of the year.

Anthony Joshua is the one out of the two who wants to stay active and challenge himself at this point in his career. Alas, we’re not sure the same can be said for Tyson Fury, who currently seems pretty happy in retirement. Either way, it’s going to take a big effort to finally get this one over the finish line.

Oleksandr Usyk is someone who knows Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua very well, given that he’s gone 4-0 against them in their fights. In an interview from a few months back, he gave a prediction for how this one could transpire.
