Tyson Fury’s potential fight with Anthony Joshua has already been predicted by a video game simulation.
‘The Gypsy King’ is fresh off his second successive loss against Oleksandr Usyk. The undefeated Ukranian dropped him en route to a split decision in May before winning unanimously when they rematched in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
Oleksandr Usyk also holds two wins over Anthony Joshua, who he beat with ease over 24 rounds in 2020 and 2021.
AJ has since suffered a bad knockout loss to Daniel Dubois. It seems that now is the time for the former two-time heavyweight world champion, and Tyson Fury to cash out of the sport by finally giving British fans the grudge match they crave.
Tyson Fury to stop Anthony Joshua inside six rounds?
One boxing fan excited about Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua simulated the fight three years ago.
The YouTuber used the video game ‘Fight Night Champion’ to predict the result of what Lennox Lewis believes is the ‘biggest fight in history’.
Joshua starts well in the simulated fight, winning the first few rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. However, things change in round four as Fury gets a foothold in the fight and badly wobbles his rival at the end of it.
Fury continues to impress in the fifth frame. The 36-year-old drops Joshua with a massive overhand right, but the Watford native manages to climb back to his feet after five seconds and continue fighting.
The show was closed in round six. Fury landed a beautiful body shot that backed Joshua up to the ropes.
Once he had his man trapped, Fury unleashed a hellacious uppercut that connected cleanly to end the fight and leave Joshua face-down on the ring canvas.
Only time will tell how Fury vs Joshua will play out, but it seems increasingly likely we will see them fight in 2025.
Oleksandr Usyk predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
Usyk is probably the best-placed man on the planet to predict Fury’s potential fight with Joshua.
After sharing 24 rounds with both men, ‘The Joker’ has revealed which English opponent he found tougher to deal with.
“Tyson Fury,” he told Boxing King Media on Sunday.
Despite finding it harder to deal with Fury, the 37-year-old makes his latest victim the underdog in a potential fight with Joshua.
“Maybe it’s Anthony Joshua,” Usyk added when asked to predict the British blockbuster.
“I don’t know—maybe points. I don’t know.”
