It would rank among the biggest upsets in heavyweight history if Fury lost to a man who turns 47 this year and has lost seven of his past 10 fights.<\/p>\n
“Fury should dominate but the biggest risk for me is that he looks awful,” Bunce says.<\/p>\n
“Also, Tyson might find out that he has lost something and senses some flaws in himself.”<\/p>\n
There is a fraction more jeopardy for Joshua. Prenga is largely an unknown quantity to the wider public, but his record demands respect: 20 wins, 20 knockouts and one defeat.<\/p>\n
“This fight is designed to be competitive, but not too competitive,” Hearn says.<\/p>\n
“He’s never boxed at AJ’s level, but until you fight at that level, you actually don’t know if you’re good enough. But he’s decent, he’s game and he’s dangerous.”<\/p>\n
The greater threat to the Fury-AJ super-fight is injury.<\/p>\n
“Tyson is too smart and clever and I think Wach won’t be using his elbows or head. There will be some sort of gentleman’s agreement,” Bunce adds.<\/p>\n
“He could injure his arm or leg. At Tyson’s age, with hard training camps, that can happen. It could also happen to Joshua.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It would rank among the biggest upsets in heavyweight history if Fury lost to a man who turns…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-708486","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\/708486","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=708486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
