Is Tyson Fury gonna outbox him? Is the lifestyle of Tyson Fury gonna finally catch up with him?<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cThe fact that [Joshua] treats his body like a temple, the fact that he looks after what he eats \u2013 he doesn\u2019t take any drugs; he doesn\u2019t drink \u2013 is that gonna come to pass?<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cMaybe it\u2019s going to be [about] who\u2019s lived the best. I\u2019d definitely say Tyson Fury has more boxing skill than Anthony Joshua \u2013 I\u2019ve never seen \u2018AJ\u2019 stand against the ropes, slip and slide punches like I\u2019ve seen Tyson Fury do. But maybe he might not need to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cWho can fight at a pace?
