Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has backed Anthony Joshua to defeat Tyson Fury on points if the British heavyweights eventually meet in the ring,
The Ukrainian, who recently defended his titles with a unanimous decision victory over Fury in their rematch in Riyadh, made the prediction despite acknowledging that ‘The Gypsy King’ gave him tougher nights in their two encounters.
“Maybe Anthony Joshua. Maybe on points,” Usyk told Boxing King Media when asked about the potential matchup between his former opponents.
The heavyweight king has faced both men, claiming the unified heavyweight titles from Joshua in 2021 and then defending them against the British-Nigerian in a 2022 rematch before claiming undisputed status against Fury earlier this year and retaining the crowns in their rematch last weekend.
