Peter Fury has shared his thoughts on his nephew Tyson\u2019s long-awaited upcoming battle against domestic rival Anthony Joshua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two British heavyweights are expected to square off later this year, but only if they win their respective warm-up fights and remain injury-free.<\/p>\n

First, Joshua must come through his outing against Kristian Prenga, a relatively unknown heavyweight who he will face in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on July 25.<\/p>\n

Tyson Fury, meanwhile, is set to enter a second warm-up fight in August, despite coming off a unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n

In fairness, the Makhmudov win ended a 16-month spell of inactivity following his second points defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, and so the 37-year-old clearly feels he could do with another tune-up exercise.<\/p>\n

This is likely to come against unbeaten 41-year-old Nelson Hysa<\/a>, who boasts a record of 24-0 (22 KOs) but has not defeated anyone of note.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how Tyson looks in his next fight, though, uncle Peter, who used to train \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019, has told About Boxing<\/a> that he sees the Joshua clash as a genuine 50\/50 contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what they\u2019ve got left. May the best man win. It\u2019s the one that comes with the right tactics that\u2019s going to win it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne\u2019s got good attributes; [the other] has good attributes. So I think it\u2019s evenly matched. It\u2019s not going to be easy for either of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter trained Tyson up until his upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Since then, Fury has worked with British coach Ben Davison and is now trained by SugarHill Steward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peter Fury has shared his thoughts on his nephew Tyson\u2019s long-awaited upcoming battle against domestic rival Anthony Joshua.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-661663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
