Former welterweight world champion Kell Brook has given his prediction for the long-awaited showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

The all-British heavyweight clash is expected to take place in November following years of failed talks, after contracts were signed back in April.<\/a> There are, however, obstacles remaining, as both Fury and Joshua will fight once in the interim.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Boxing King Media<\/a>, Brook concluded that, despite both \u2018AJ\u2019 and \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 being past their best, he leans towards Fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t really say who I want to win. Whoever wants it the most, whoever gets the win, deserves it. Who I think is gonna win the fight, in my opinion, is Tyson Fury. I just think he\u2019s more natural. He\u2019s [been] boxing since he could walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask me closer to the fight\u2026 AJ\u2019s got that one-two, those straight shots, an unbelievable athlete. Fury had a long time out. They both aren\u2019t the same fighters. We\u2019ll have to wait and see, but I lean towards Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Fury announced that he will be fighting Polish veteran Mariusz Wach<\/a> in Thailand on July 24. The following night in Saudi Arabia, Joshua takes on little-known heavyweight Kristian Prenga.<\/p>\n

After their respective warm-up fights in late July, if both emerge victorious as expected, it is likely there will be official confirmation of one of the most anticipated fights in boxing.<\/p>\n

Some details, however, remain up in the air, with the location still being determined and the US said to be just as likely as the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former welterweight world champion Kell Brook has given his prediction for the long-awaited showdown between Tyson Fury and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-676820","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\/676820","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=676820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
