Mystic Fury: Tyson Fury Tells Eddie Hearn How He Will Knockout Anthony Joshua

The Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight has slowly picked up the pace and could finally be upon us. After months of tentative talks, it appears things have fallen into place for the event. And ‘The Gypsy King’ has revealed his game plan to Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.

Fury is one of the best talkers in the sport right now. ‘The Gypsy King’, who has become famous for his incredible entertainment on the mic before his fights, always backs up his words in the ring. He is now back at it, this time telling Hearn how he will knock out ‘AJ.’

The 30-0-1 boxer joined Eddie Hearn on an episode of his podcast, ‘No Passion, No Point.’ Of the Joshua fight, Fury said, “I’ll even give me game plan away. It will be a check left straight to the temple. His legs will go and he will fall on his face.”

The undefeated champion then added, “He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Good night, enough said.” 

This comment showed that Fury is sticking with his KO prediction, which he made even before the talks started.

Why is Tyson Fury so confident?

These comments from Fury showed his amazing confidence levels. This is not even the first time he has expressed his belief with such conviction. Earlier, he posted a video of his training and gave fans a taste of the move that would put Joshua down. So why is ‘The Gypsy King’ so confident?

The WBC champion goes into the fight as the firm favorite, thanks to his superior boxing ability. He knows ‘AJ’ cannot outbox him and would have to rely on a knockout. However, Fury dismantled Wilder, who arguably had more power than Joshua. Therefore, ‘The Gypsy King’ knows all the odds are against Joshua.

Thus, it is no surprise that he is confident in his ability to beat his compatriot. While it is nothing personal, the two-time heavyweight champion can bank on his experience and superior skillset when the fight takes place. However, the Londoner will surely have something to say about this.
