Retired British heavyweight David Price has made his prediction ahead of the huge clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua who are set to collide later this year.<\/p>\n
Fury and Joshua have been linked to one another for a decade now, but it finally seems as though the pair will meet in a long-awaited scrap that could prove to be the biggest in the history of British boxing. Although, it may not happen in Britain, unless it takes place in the early hours of the morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yet, before those details can be ironed out, both Fury and Joshua must come through their respective warm-up bouts unscathed, as Fury faces Mariusz Wach in Thailand, whilst Joshua takes on Kristian Prenga in Riyadh.<\/p>\n Still, success in those fights is expected to be a formality, and Price, who was linked to a grudge match with Fury in the early days of their professional careers, told Fight Lens<\/a> why he is predicting a victory for \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think Tyson Fury, still, I am leaning towards [him] to beat Anthony Joshua. I think that he will just outbox him for 12 rounds but I\u2019ve always had in my head [with] that fight, that Anthony Joshua\u2019s dangerous punches are mid-range; hooks and uppercuts. So, Fury\u2019s just got to keep him long, all night long and tie him up inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cJoshua is really good up close and can get really good leverage on his shots. Most of his knockouts are hooks, uppercuts and that type of punch \u2013 not really long right-hands.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I think that Fury has got to keep him off-balance all night, all of that feinting, all of that twitching and win on points at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
