Anthony Joshua believes Tyson Fury is going to get his hands raised in the rematch. Although he respects the power that Wilder brings to the table he thinks Fury with superior boxing skills can get the job done against Wilder.

“I believe that Fury will win because, Wilder has shown you can’t blink for a second with him because it just takes one punch, against Ortiz. But it shows that a good boxer, who’s young and fresh and can follow out a game plan can be victorious seven to ‘x’ amount of rounds.”

Wilder is not the best boxer in the world when it comes to skills and he is well aware of that. But as he says he only needs a few seconds to end the fight and he does not have to be perfect for 12 rounds. However, Joshua believes Fury is evasive and smart enough to inflict enough damage to win the fight while evading the power punch of Wilder. Joshua explained:

“Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit and Ortiz got hit with a big punch but Fury’s quite evasive, Fury’s a lot bigger, Fury boxes back and flicks out his jab. So he is quite difficult to hit. Fury fought Wilder the first time after a long lay off. I think Fury’s taken some relatively soft touch fights, got his confidence back and going into the new year as a new man, new team, new mindset. He’s over his mental health issues. So he must feel something in him that is new and he wants to be the new heavyweight champion of the world. So I think Fury has a good chance to beat Wilder providing he follows his game plan through the 12 rounds.”

Well, the heavyweight champion has picked his bet for the Fury vs Wilder rematch. Who do you think gets the job done?
