Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: A New Prediction by Sidekick

For years, boxing fans have dreamed of an all-British heavyweight super fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury — a clash that would finally decide who reigns supreme in the modern era of British boxing. Ever since both men emerged on the heavyweight scene, Tyson Fury has long been seen as the favourite. Standing at 6ft 9in, he’s the larger man, possessing extraordinary agility, footwork, and a boxing IQ rarely seen in fighters of his size.

Anthony Joshua, by contrast, entered the sport later in life but quickly rose to global fame, winning Olympic gold in 2012 and becoming a two-time unified world champion. While Fury’s natural talent and unorthodox movement have often given him the edge in fan discussions, recent years have slightly shifted the balance of opinion. Fury’s repeated talk of retirement, inconsistent activity, and questions about motivation have raised doubts about whether he remains at his absolute best. Meanwhile, Joshua’s form and discipline appear rejuvenated under his new training regime.

Joshua’s evolution as a fighter has been noticeable — from the explosive puncher who beat Dillian Whyte over a decade ago to a more composed and tactical heavyweight. He seems to have refined his balance, movement, and shot selection, showing growth that could prove crucial if this long-awaited bout finally happens.

The styles make this matchup particularly fascinating. Fury’s movement, jab, and unpredictability have frustrated every opponent he has faced. His ability to switch stances, use feints, and adapt mid-fight has defined his success. Joshua, on the other hand, carries more one-punch power and has honed a cleaner, more measured approach in recent outings. His jab has become sharper, and his defensive structure tighter.

Prediction

While Tyson Fury’s technical brilliance and ring IQ are undeniable, questions remain about his current motivation and sharpness after years of on-and-off activity. Joshua appears more focused and mentally composed than he has in years, showing steady progress with each fight under his new trainers.

If the two finally meet next year, the tide may surprise many. This time, the prediction leans toward Anthony Joshua. His improved conditioning, renewed confidence, and disciplined style could allow him to control the distance, land the cleaner shots, and edge Fury on the scorecards.

Prediction: Anthony Joshua wins by unanimous decision after 12 tactical and hard-fought rounds.
