WBC champion Agit Kabayel has considered how Tyson Fury<\/a> may fare against Anthony Joshua<\/a>, who he feels is the \u201cbiggest puncher in the heavyweight division\u201d.<\/p>\n

The two Brits are set to collide in November, yet it remains to be seen whether their long-awaited showdown will take place in the UK or US.<\/p>\n

There is reportedly now a strong chance of Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium hosting their all-British clash, with a date of November 28 said to be being explored.<\/p>\n

Even now, though, we await an official announcement on whether the event will even take place, let alone be staged at a venue that is desirable to British fight fans.<\/p>\n

The majority of these fans, meanwhile, appear to be favouring Fury, who comes off a seventh-round stoppage of the 46-year-old Mariusz Wach<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

Joshua, too, completed a warm-up fight that same weekend, only to encounter far greater jeopardy against the previously little-known Kristian Prenga.<\/p>\n

Rather shockingly, the 36-year-old suffered two first-round knockdowns before reminding us of his considerable power by stopping Prenga in the following three minutes.<\/p>\n

But while Joshua certainly remains a formidable puncher, world heavyweight champion Kabayel has told Playbook Boxing<\/a> that he is siding with \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Fury win, but not easy win. AJ has the punch \u2013 he\u2019s a big puncher. I think he\u2019s the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division, but the problem is in his mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [on] points or [by] KO, Fury win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to defeating Wach, Fury unanimously outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov<\/a> in April but, like Joshua, the 38-year-old appears far removed from his prime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WBC champion Agit Kabayel has considered how Tyson Fury may fare against Anthony Joshua, who he feels is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":888003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-888002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=888002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/888003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=888002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=888002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=888002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
