How can Joshua beat Fury

[Boxing56]

I don't think AJ will beat him but if you were to give AJ somewhat of a strategy how would you got about it. Problem is I'm not sure his new trimmed down physique will suit him against Tyson.

I'd imagine he would need to maintain strength to have a chance at infighting and he, unlike Wilder, can throw some good combinations when on the inside especially the upper cut.

I say he would want to bulk his frame up a bit again, and look to go toe to toe with Fury. Turn it into a good old fashioned British brawl. Seriously, he isn't going to outbox him at range or be able to swing for a one punch KO... So he'll surely have to train for a toe to toe brawl and see who has the machismo - what a fight we're in for if so!!!

I doubt Fury goes into a shootout with Joshua.

He'll just use his vastly superior footwork & skills to box the s*** out of him.

Should do a Salido on him like he did to Lomachenko.

Fury will go back to boxing with joshua. Tire him out and stop him late. Joshua tends to mentally fatigue i noticed. Fury will be very loose and i feel Joshua will feel the pressure and start getting countered. Then he will not know how to survive when Fury starts hitting him with quick punches.

Yeah, its just gonna be really really hard for AJ tbh...

Fury can be got at, but is really fit and doesn't panic under pressure. He's shown real whiskers. He also has so many different skillsets and is open to using any of them, at different points throughout a fight. Plus, he's a giant of a man.

I also think this fight would be Fury's true legacy fight, especially if they manage to make it for all the belts. Then I expect Fury to bring out all his party tricks and look to underline his whole legacy in this one event.

AJ has to try and turn it into a tear up in my opinion, and just see who wants it more...

Fury does to Joshua what Joshua did to Ruiz in their rematch. I see no path to victory for Joshua against Fury. Or Wilder TBH.

Saying that, as we saw Saturday, it's the heavyweight division. Just takes one punch.

I could see this. AJ making it interesting early, but Fury taking over mid-rounds and maybe stopping a gassed AJ shortly thereafter...

We don't even know much Joshua has left and what damage the Ruiz defeat did to him.

Let's face it, he danced round Ruiz like a fairy in the the rematch and on the rare occasions Ruiz closed the distance, AJ shat himself and wouldn't engage.

What's he gonna do when a 6ft9 270 pound Fury is next to him and threatening to do him serious harm?

I think that Fury would mentally destroy him before the fight even started,

With a baseball bat.


He won't beat Fury.
