Fury has the ability to make Joshua look basic, but Joshua is still dangerous.
I could see Fury schooling him for 12 rounds.
Whether people want to admit it or not, Fury has a very good ring IQ. It won't be quite as simple as just trying to walk him down, he's a bit too crafty for that.
If Fury gets his sh^t together I suspect he'll beat Joshua more or less like he did Klitschko. Keep it moving & decide where the fighting happens at. Be elusive in general. It'd probably be rougher early, cuz Joshua is a devil early, & easier later, cuz his stamina isn't all that great, than how things went with Klitschko, but overall I think it'd be similar.
If Fury doesn't get his sh^t together I think Joshua takes him out in 3 to 8 rounds...deeper rounds being reached probably depending on how much of his sh^t he has together without quite being fully re-sh^tted up still.

People keep ignoring or denying this fact. Fury has the best ring IQ of any HW out there for me & anyone really paying attention to things. And in this era where windmill punching can get you into the top 3 guys in the division ring IQ is YUUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEE.
Fury woulda reigned over this division til he lost his sh^t at some future date if he didn't immediately lose his sh^t upon winning the belt. And if he gets his sh^t together he'll still do that.
Unfortunately he's about as stable as a three legged table built by a crossed eyed man with a depth perception issue....so Fury's reign was never gonna be all that long or will be all that long if he gets things going again. But Fury on point & focused is king of the division til he loses to himself basically.
Joshua is going to be aggressive so that boxing won't really work out so great for Fury. he found someone willing to oblige his bull **** in Wlad, a young guy like Joshua is going to push the issue and make him actually fight.
Joshua more than likely rips Fury apart, power and aggression more often than not beats skill at heavy.
