Anthony Joshua Predicts Devastating Outcome for Tyson Fury in Deontay Wilder Trilogy

Ahead of his upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk this weekend, Anthony Joshua shared his prediction for Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury 3. Nearly two weeks after the mega heavyweight battle between Joshua and Usyk, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will settle their rivalry in the trilogy bout on October 9.

Since 2018, Fury and Wilder have shared bad blood, and it has now grown into a bitter rivalry. When they first went toe-to-toe in 2018, the 12-round bout closed with a split draw.

In their rematch in early 2020, Fury looked levels above his opponent. While Wilder did not show many improvements in his approach since the first fight. As a result, the Englishman silenced all doubters by stopping ‘The Bronze Bomber’ in round 7.

As they now inch closer to the final leg of their rivalry, Deontay Wilder seems more focused and determined to regain his title. With changes in his team after his first and only career loss last year, he has clearly adopted an improved approach. New videos on social media show a different side to the Alabama native’s go-to ‘big right hand’ approach.

The two-time unified heavyweight champion believes Deontay Wilder has a solid chance of winning in the third fight. He added that his single-track mindset could be dangerous for ‘The Gypsy King’.

Joshua predicts Deontay Wilder will end Tyson Fury‘s reign on October 9 with a knockout win.

“He seems obsessed, like he really wants it. He seems really focused on the task ahead. A focused man is a dangerous man, and he’s focused. It has to be a knockout,” said Anthony Joshua.
