    Not very likely. But It's possible. Everything is possible in HW.
    As an advocatus diaboli I can say: Joshua has a weak chin -- Fury has no KO power. Joshua can run away -- Fury can be tired. Joshua is better skilled than Wilder and has a good power in fists.

      Joshua’s trainer used to train fury. AJ is the clear underdog, and AJ has sparred fury before. It’s a true 50-50.

          Stylistically I just cant see a gameplan Joshua could come up with that has a reliable chance of success. But then at the same time you would never expect Fury/Wallin to play out like it did either. Joshua is no slouch - hes almost certainly the most skilled fighter Fury will have faced outside of Wlad, and he has good power, and hes in his prime, so you never know. But on paper it just looks a comfortable Fury UD win to me.

            I would favor Fury to win, however I can tell you how I think Joshua COULD beat Tyson Fury:

            1. If Tyson Fury has any sort of letdown. He has already mentioned retirement within a few fights so it's not a given that we see the same Fury we just witnessed last week.

            2. If AJ is willing to sell out a bit to land body shots. Fury is extremely elusive so Joshua would need to invest heavily in slowing Tyson down.

            3. He happens to land an Otto Wallin-type shot to open a gruesome cut

            That's all I have for now because I favor Tyson Fury, however I see it as a 70-30 kind of fight.

              Yes I think he has a chance, in fact i think he has a great chance. It's a 50/50 60-40 to Fury type for me, both guys will have their rounds in the fight, I think Joshua has better and faster hands on the inside and Fury is better from the outside, so its gonna come down to who can implement their advantages better on the night.

              But yes I can see how Joshua could have success and score in the fight.

              I do think Fury's toughness, chin, and stamina give him the edge though

                Furys not mission impossible, he was 2 seconds from losing the first wilder fight and had fit's with Steve cunning ham. Joshua could definitely chin him. He's a far better fighter than bum squad

                  I would favor AJ, he’s a boxer puncher and a two hand threat who throws every punch , not sure if people caught it but Fury landed some really good uppercuts and both traded them with Wilder getting beat soundly,I bring this up because Joshua can fight at any range unlike Wilder ,you need to have all ranges at your disposal against Fury should he be aggressive or be the outside boxer.


                  AJ is my pick ,Wilder isn’t in my top 3 ,I’ve had him under Usyk ,Hrgovic not just AJ and Fury so he doesn’t have any meaning to me on this match, AJ and Fury are the top 2 guys. Joshua matches well with Fury he got the better of him once I believe he would do it again and stop Fury late .

                    When has Rob McCraken trained Fury?
