Later this year, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to meet in a long-awaited grudge match. Now, fellow British star Conor Benn has shared his thoughts on how he believes the bout will play out.<\/p>\n

Joshua and Fury look to end years of debate when they clash later this year, with an agreement now in place but still a few obstacles to clear.<\/p>\n

Before fans can get too excited, both men must come through warm-up contests unscathed<\/a>, with \u2018AJ\u2019 scheduled to take on Kristian Pranga in two months\u2019 time and Fury hoping to have another run out following his win over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Even with the \u2018warm-up\u2019 fights, Joshua-Fury is closer than ever to finally taking place.<\/p>\n

Speaking on a recent Kick stream<\/a>, Benn revealed that he expects the fight to go one of two ways, ending with either a Fury decision or a Joshua knockout.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably Fury points. Fury points or AJ stoppage is what I would say, but then again, I am sitting on the fence.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, that is how I see the fight panning out. It\u2019ll have to be an AJ stoppage or Fury on points.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 has promised fans a KO, believing himself to be much too good for his countryman. That would require him to produce his first stoppage since beating Derek Chisora inside the distance back in 2022.<\/p>\n

Joshua-Prenga takes place on Saturday, July 25, in Riyadh<\/a>, as the Olympic Gold Medalist takes on his first recognised heavyweight boxer since partnering up with Team Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Later this year, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to meet in a long-awaited grudge match.
