Frank Warren Backs Tyson Fury To Stop Anthony Joshua

Promoter Frank Warren has backed Tyson Fury to defeat Anthony Joshua by stoppage, arguing that Fury's counterpunching ability will exploit defensive openings when Joshua attacks. Speaking to Sky Sports Boxing, Warren compared the matchup to Daniel Dubois's knockout win over Joshua, stating that while both fighters may be slower than in their athletic primes, Fury possesses the right style to capitalize on Joshua's vulnerabilities.

Boxing News 24 also argues that Joshua's punch resistance has significantly deteriorated over time. The outlet contends that Joshua's vulnerability to clean punches, combined with Fury's counterpunching skills, creates a path for Fury to wear down Joshua and stop him inside the distance despite neither fighter operating at their former athletic peak.
