David Price, who beat Tyson Fury in the amateurs and dropped Anthony Joshua in sparring, has offered his take on their long-awaited showdown.
Fury and Joshua are in negotiations to collide in November, with ‘AJ’ expected to enter a preliminary fight before facing ‘The Gypsy King’.
Having not fought since his sixth-round finish over Jake Paul in December, Joshua’s next outing is likely to take place in July, according to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
Such discussions follow the tragic car crash in which ‘AJ’ was involved at the end of 2025, resulting in him losing two of his closest friends.
Since then, though, Joshua has returned to Spain with Oleksandr Usyk and is seemingly in a position to start ramping up his training.
Fury, meanwhile, ended a 16-month layoff against Arslanbek Makhmudov last week, labouring to a wide but largely uneventful unanimous decision victory.
The 37-year-old then delivered a WWE-style call-out to Joshua shortly after getting his hand raised, only to be denied a promo-worthy face-off in the ring.
Nevertheless, it seems their all-British heavyweight clash could finally materialise later this year, albeit at a time when neither two-time world champion is at his best.
Recognising this, Olympic bronze medallist Price has told Seconds Out that, having shared the ring with both men, he has maintained his prediction for their potential encounter.
“I think Fury wins that fight on points. It’s what I’ve always said.
“I think he’ll just use his size too much for Anthony Joshua. He will get caught up close – Anthony Joshua’s power, mid-range, is as good as anyone’s – but Tyson Fury can just keep it long, keep him [at] bay, and can just go all night.
“Both have got great engines but Tyson Fury’s so relaxed in a boxing ring. It’s like he’s going for a walk in the park.”
Many would argue that Joshua and Fury have regressed to a similar degree, suggesting that Price is right to maintain his prediction from several years ago.
