Anthony Joshua Joshua has been predicted to defeat Tyson Fury in an upcoming rematch. Their first fight ended in a draw between Bernard Hopkins and Bernard Hopkins.
Hopkins predicts that Joshua will draw with the Brit, just like Deontay Wilder's first encounter in December 2018.
AJ and Fury don't seem to be on a collision course at the moment. Fury announced his retirement in April after his win over Dillian Whyte in Wembley.
Joshua is currently preparing for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, a unbeaten Ukrainian fighter, on August 20.
In September, Usyk stripped his WBA and WBO belts. This left the London 2012 Olympic gold medallist outpointed.
Recent reports suggest that Fury, the WBC king, could face Fury in a rematch.
However, the Manchester United fan quickly dispelled those rumours and denied that he was in talks to return to the ring.
Fury insists he does not intend to make a comeback on Good Morning Britain.
This was just hours after Frank Warren's Queensbury Promotions told him that "100%" would return inside the squared circle.
Joshua vs Fury: Hopkins, the boxing legend, has his take on how he sees this dream blockbuster fight.
In June 2020, the 57 year-old spoke to iFL TV and said that it would be a draw. "They'll fight a second-time and Joshua would defeat them."
"I'm going with this fight. I can assure you that the first fight will be a draw.
Joshua will win the second fight, but it will draw the first fight because it's going be difficult to score. That's when there's a lot of controversy about who won the rounds.
"People will disagree on who wins the fight. But I can tell you that the first fight will be close enough to draw.
Joshua will win the second fight.
He said, "I figure Joshua makes the adjustments and figures him out. Then he realizes he has to go after the body rather than the head."
"And then he'll fall. "The head will touch the knees."
