While backing the \u2018Gypsy King\u2019 to win their Battle of Britain<\/a>, Mike Tyson would like to see Anthony Joshua<\/a> face a heavyweight knockout artist after their long-awaited encounter.<\/p>\n

The two Brits will finally square off at Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium on December 11, with both men colliding for the chance to become a three-time world champion.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the winner will secure himself a WBA \u2018super\u2019 title, despite Murat Gassiev holding the sanctioning body\u2019s \u2018regular\u2019 title and considering himself a world champion.<\/p>\n

As for the fight itself, many are giving the edge to Tyson Fury, perhaps favouring his overall skillset or merely believing that he has declined less than his domestic rival.<\/p>\n

He did, after all, score respective points and stoppage victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach without seeming in danger of getting stopped \u2013 albeit without setting the world alight, either \u2013 whereas Joshua suffered two knockdowns in the opening round of his July contest with Kristian Prenga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018AJ\u2019 then managed to get the job done with a second-round finish, yet \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike is still backing Fury to win their upcoming showdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with DJ WHOO KID<\/a>, Tyson also expressed his desire to see Joshua lock horns with former WBC champion Deontay Wilder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyson\u2019s always been known to handle pressure well, but it\u2019s going to be interesting to watch this fight. I know Joshua\u2019s going to be throwing faster punches, but his punches can\u2019t be faster than Deontay Wilder\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna see him [Joshua] fight Deontay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps a clash with Wilder could be revisited but, before then, Joshua must remain focused on settling his long-time rivalry with Fury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While backing the \u2018Gypsy King\u2019 to win their Battle of Britain, Mike Tyson would like to see Anthony…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":805589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-805588","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\/805588","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=805588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
