Tyson Fury<\/a> and Anthony Joshua<\/a> are set to collide in November, but after their recent \u2018tune-up fights\u2019, former WBA featherweight champion Barry McGuigan has updated his prediction for the contest.<\/p>\n

Fury and \u2018AJ\u2019 have been linked to one another for a number of years, but after consistent disappointment, fans finally look set to be treated to the long-awaited grudge match, albeit without a heavyweight world title on the line.<\/p>\n

Instead, at the respective ages of 37 and 36 years old, Fury-Joshua could be a shared career finale rather than the career-defining moment that it had always been deemed as, but global fan interest remains, amid talk of a showdown in New York.<\/p>\n

Discussing the fight a few weeks ago, McGuigan confidently predicted a win for the Londoner, believing that Joshua beats \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 every day of the week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [Daniel] Dubois would knock out Anthony Joshua every single day of the week, but I think Joshua beats Tyson Fury every day of the week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just has that style; he just has that technique. I think he\u2019s too much for [Fury].\u201d<\/p>\n

However, after witnessing Fury\u2019s below-par effort against Mariusz Wach and Joshua\u2019s near-catastrophic shootout with Kristian Prenga<\/a>, the 2005 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee has admitted that he now believes Fury to be the favourite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d have to make Tyson the favourite at this stage following Joshua\u2019s increased vulnerability. BUT, at the risk of using to many cliches, \u201cthe last thing a fighter looses is his punch\u201d. However, you need to be in the right position to land that punch.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is believed that Fury-Joshua could take place at Madison Square Garden in November<\/a>, much to the disappointment of British fight fans, who had presumed the pair would go toe-to-toe at Wembley Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to collide in November, but after their recent \u2018tune-up fights\u2019, former…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-728927","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\/728927","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=728927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
