The long-awaited meeting between Tyson Fury<\/a> and Anthony Joshua<\/a> is just seven weeks away, and reigning IBF heavyweight champion Filip Hrgovic has offered his prediction for the fight.<\/p>\n

Fury has scored consecutive wins since back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024; outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov in April before halting Mariusz Wach in a low-profile meeting in Thailand back in July.<\/p>\n

Joshua also competed in July, recovering from two shock first round knockdowns against Kristian Prenga before claiming the second round knockout win.<\/p>\n

Both Fury and Joshua will have the opportunity to become boxing\u2019s fifth three-time heavyweight world champion when they collide with one another, following the controversial news that the vacant WBA (Super) heavyweight world title will be on the line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although, when speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show<\/a>, reigning IBF heavyweight champion Hrgovic admitted that he does not expect the victor to pursue a title unification against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so [that they would want to fight me after]. I would be happy if I am wrong but I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, Hrgovic went on to forecast a knockout victory for \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 when asked to provide his prediction for the contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Fury, based on Joshua\u2019s last performance. He was fighting a journeyman and he went down in 10 seconds from such a soft punch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [Fury knocks him out], yes, but we will see. I think it is an interesting fight because they are both superstars but I think that they are both past their primes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury-Joshua takes place on Friday, December 11, in Cardiff<\/a>, as the pair of two-time heavyweight rulers finally collide after years of torment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The long-awaited meeting between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is just seven weeks away, and reigning IBF heavyweight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-811966","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\/811966","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=811966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
