MIKE TYSON believes that Anthony Joshua's flaws will be a'recipe of disaster' if he has to face Tyson Fury.
Talks have begun this week between heavyweight champions about a possible all-British fight later in the year.
Mike Tyson believes Anthony Joshua "telegraphs" his punches
Joshua hopes to reach an agreement to fight Tyson Fury in this year's Olympics
Recently, Tyson spoke with Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn during his BBC No Passion No Point podcast.
The American explained why Fury is the man to beat.
Tyson, who was drawn with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, stated: "It is very interesting, Joshua's a masterful puncher. You can see the punches coming because he telegraphs them.
"And that's just the recipe for disaster if Tyson Fury is your opponent and you're telegraphing all your punches to a guy who's 6ft 7in tall, come on!"
Wilder was defeated by Fury in an epic trilogy fight that Tyson championed long before it became a formality.
He said, "I believe there are many great heavyweight fighters within the division.
"Anyone who claims it's a bad division are just jealous. It's exciting.
"Tyson [Fury] could fight Wilder again. I like to watch guys fight over and over, if they are exciting fighters."
In December, Mike Tyson returned to fight Roy Jones Jr.
He said: "[Wilder] made mistakes, but if the fans desire it, that's what this is all about."
Tyson Fury is a fan fighter. He has the momentum and fans love him.
"In England, Anthony Joshua has become a huge thing. Tyson Fury is now the man, he has the people. They follow him like he is a prophet."
