You can't replicate Fury in sparring, and AJ and his team have no idea what tactics Fury will use.

Joshua will come prepared though, respect to him for that.

Joshua has to prepare for both the Fury that is aggressive and the one that boxes on the outside. I have a hard time seeing how AJ beats Fury, but he has a puncher's chance.

Guys from the past like Holyfield, Bowe, Mike Tyson and Lewis would be too much for Fury.

Fury will also have to prepare for different versions of AJ. I don't think it would be wise for Fury to come into the pocket versus AJ like he did Wilder. That pocket is a dangerous place for Fury to stay vs AJs hooks and uppercuts.

I think AJ will take it by a close decision.

Dedicated xD yeah to crossfit but this dude only boxed every 6-9 months pre covid.

I see it this way. Aj is a cross fit trainer that has learned to box where as Fury comes from a fighting background with a more natural boxing ability & due to his genetics a gas tank.

I think Fury will go in & do what he does & If this becomes a jabbing contest i only see 1 winner & that's Fury.

Preasure : If Fury preasures Aj like he did Wilder 2 & Aj doesn't catch Fury quick i see Aj gassing again like he does & did again against Pulev after the flurry in the 3rd, fighting Klitschko Aj was done in the 5th but age got Klitschko that night & he couldn't finish the job & Ruiz when Aj hooked with a hooker not know for power.
Nobody really preasures Aj especially as 4 of his last 6 were 38-41 slow old with 5 good rounds in them & Parker the ref stopped the fight every time he hit Aj.

I think Ajs size & build goes against him as every time he get's excited or exerts himself his tank needs 2 rounds to refill & he hasn't prepared right fighting old men that bitd would have been in between exhibition fight's not mando's or title shots. Takem & Pukev especially.

But hey this is Heavyweight boxing & it could all be over in the first.

Target fury's big ass gut . I'm sure that'd slow him down and he has all that torso . wierd how I haven't seen any fury opponents target his body

Aj has been preparing diligently for fury whilst fury has been downing beers this fight is going to be a major upset and will teach dunce boxing fans that no one is invincible. Mike Tyson lost, Ali lost, Golovkin lost, canelo lost, loma lost, Larry holmes lost Lennox Lewis lost and beating retirement very soon Fury will 100% lose likely against joshua

Fury likes to get on top of his opponents, I don't think this will work against Joshua, as Joshua will be much stronger than Wilder. Fury will certainly have the advantage on the outside, but he gets hit from distance often enough, both knockdowns against wilder and the knockdown against Cunningham came by right hands; Fury will be susceptible to Joshua's right all night long.

AJ will not be physically stronger than Fury in the clinches, maybe not punching power, but he also has better strength endurance.

History has shown that AJ blows out of his arse when pressured by a top tier fighter.

Even good conditioning will only help that weak chin so much. Like Bruno and Lewis he has the suspect chin. Fury is different from the other Brits as he showed against bum squad wilder
