TYSON FURY's father has a sneaking suspicion that Anthony Joshua will succeed in his high-stakes rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
In a potentially career-defining Saudi showdown, AJ will try to reclaim WBO IBF, WBO IBF and IBO Heavyweight titles from the slick southernpaw.
Anthony Joshua will face Oleksandr Usyk next Saturday in Saudi Arabia
Joshua was defeated by Usyk in their Tottenham tussle last October
But John Fury thinks the Brit could emerge victorious from the Saudi showdown
Joshua was easily defeated by the undefeated Ukrainian in September. John Fury thinks the Brit could be able to win the second round.
John stated that AJ could pull it off during a recent appearance on talkSPORT.
"I have a sneaky feeling that AJ is going to do it again and he has this amazing way of bouncing right back, doesn't he?"
If AJ wins his desert dust-up against Usyk, AJ will be able to enjoy a mouthwatering Battle of Britain against Fury, the WBC king.
Papa John will encourage Tyson to fight the winner in an undisputed multi-million-pound bout later in the year.
He stated that Joshua would win the game. Even though I would want Tyson to win, I'd press him to do so.
"And Usyk? Why not?" They can both beat him at a canter, so why not?
After being outboxed in their Tottenham tussle by Usyk, Joshua was timid and fired Rob McCracken, his former long-time coach.
He has vowed to return to his aggressive best with Robert Garcia, his new head trainer.
He stated that the fight with Usyk was, to my mind, going for 12 rounds.
"It was my strategy because I believed I could compete against him as a boxer.
"And I believe he won two rounds more than me. This is how he became champion.

"So, the goal is to get back to basics and to knock out.
"I feel that when I fight or spar with people, their spirit is actually dampened."
"Honestly, if you look at someone directly in their eyes, and watch their body closely, you can see how they are slowly losing their strength.
"Now, when you boxing, the art is to hit and not get hurt. You're better off boxing to stay away. This is not my style.
"My style is to get up close with people and make it difficult for them." That's my game plan.
