Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua- Who looks sharper at this stage?

Tyson Fury hasn’t fought since his WBC title win against Deontay Wilder on February 2020. However, he is still looking fresh and is having a great time in his gym. If we look at this recent training clip, Fury is still deploying more attention to his movements.

Being a heavyweight, Fury often gets recognized for having the best footwork, body and head movement in the division. He prefers to hit and float away, and is looking to replicate the same to dismantle Joshua. He is technically jabbing, moving in and out, and posing combinations.

As his trainer puts it, “Sometimes bump it and then step to it just so it don’t come back. So, you bump it, then step and bang bang.”

Meanwhile, unified world champion Anthony Joshua still has his eyes on strength and power. Joshua is one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight circuit. After reviving his winning track by beating Andy Ruiz Jr, in a rematch, Joshua defended his titles once again by knocking out Kubrat Pulev in December. It fueled up his fight against Tyson Fury.

Joshua is honing his signature left hooks and uppercuts to get ready for the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion. Apart from shadowboxing, Joshua might be planning to land a one-punch KO. If he connects, it will be a win for him. But Fury rose back from Wilder’s hit in the past. So, Joshua might have to show more power if he wants to floor Tyson Fury till the last count.

Both the heavyweights appear in tremendous shape. Now, only their in-ring collision will determine the better pugilist. Till then, fans and analysts will continue to bring in theories while previewing the fight.
