According to the 36-year-old Briton, his compatriot Tyson Fury will win the title fight.

Note that Joe Joyce is one of the contenders for the duel with Oleksandr Usyk. On September 24, the undefeated Briton in a fight with New Zealander Joseph Parker will play for the WBO interim heavyweight belt and the status of a mandatory contender for the full WBO title, which belongs to the Ukrainian.

" He can become a left-handed stance, he has a larger arm span. But with Joshua, Usyk has proven he can compete with the big guys..

I think it's a different fight. In my opinion, Usyk already calculated Joshua before their fight, and Fury is much more unpredictable. He has a fast jab, good defensive skills..

I think Fury will hang on to him. He will beat Usyk, unsettle him and do his job. But I will be happy to watch this fight and see who wins, because I want to fight the winner,"

On the night of August 21, 2022, Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision in a rematch, which took place in the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Thus, the Ukrainian defended all the titles taken from AJ last fall, and also won the vacant belt of The Ring magazine.

Fury on the night of April 24, 2022 knocked out his compatriot Dillian Whyte and retained the WBC title, after which he announced his retirement.

Thus, in a potential fight between Usyk and Fury, four main belts (WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC) and the title of absolute world heavyweight champion will be at stake..

The 35-year-old Usyk has 20 wins (13 by knockout) in 20 fights. He held four of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there..

The 33-year-old Fury has 32 wins (23 by knockout) and one draw.
