Later this year, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to meet in a long-awaited grudge match. Now, fellow British star Conor Benn has shared his thoughts on how he believes the bout will play out.
Joshua and Fury look to end years of debate when they clash later this year, with an agreement now in place but still a few obstacles to clear.
Before fans can get too excited, both men must come through warm-up contests unscathed, with ‘AJ’ scheduled to take on Kristian Pranga in two months’ time and Fury hoping to have another run out following his win over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Even with the ‘warm-up’ fights, Joshua-Fury is closer than ever to finally taking place.
Speaking on a recent Kick stream, Benn revealed that he expects the fight to go one of two ways, ending with either a Fury decision or a Joshua knockout.
“Probably Fury points. Fury points or AJ stoppage is what I would say, but then again, I am sitting on the fence.
“But, that is how I see the fight panning out. It’ll have to be an AJ stoppage or Fury on points.”
‘The Gypsy King’ has promised fans a KO, believing himself to be much too good for his countryman. That would require him to produce his first stoppage since beating Derek Chisora inside the distance back in 2022.
Joshua-Prenga takes place on Saturday, July 25, in Riyadh, as the Olympic Gold Medalist takes on his first recognised heavyweight boxer since partnering up with Team Oleksandr Usyk.
