Fury's promoter Frank Warren expects his fighter to stop Anthony Joshua early. Joshua can punch, he says, but leaves himself open when he lets his shots go.

Frank Warren is backing Tyson Fury to stop Anthony Joshua. “Styles make fights,” the promoter told Sky Sports Boxing, according to BoxingNews24. He said he felt the same as he did before Daniel Dubois fought Joshua, when he believed Dubois would knock him out: “I just feel that Tyson has his number, in my opinion. Maybe wrong.”
“The one thing about AJ, as we all know, he can whack,” Warren conceded. “When he throws his shots, he leaves himself very vulnerable, and Tyson's a good counterpuncher.” Both men, he added, will probably be “a little bit slower than they were”. “I think it'll be very exciting whilst it lasts.”
Warren also promotes Fury. The fight takes place on 11 December at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, live on Netflix.
