Undisputed boxing world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has been tipped to emerge victorious in the double headed fight with WBC champion, ‘Gyspy King’ Tyson Fury when both meet in their propose clash tagged ‘British Battle’ next year.
According to former undisputed middleweight champion of the world, Bernard Hopkins explained that Joshua, who is the current WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles holder will beat Tyson in the rematch with their first clash ending in stalemate.
Both fighters have agreed to tow headed fight deal worth £150million next year with the all four major world heavyweight titles on the line.
“It’ll be a draw and they’ll fight a second time and the second time Joshua would beat him.
“I’m going to go with this one. The first fight is going to be a draw, I’m telling you.
“The second fight Joshua wins, but the first fight will be a draw because it’s going to be hard to score and that’s when the controversy comes in with who got the rounds.
“Both guys are coming in as champion and respected by the public and the judges.
“People will have their own opinion on who will win the fight, but I’m telling you the first fight is going to be so close it’ll be a draw. The second fight will happen and Joshua is going to win,” Hopkins nicknamed “The Executioner” said.
Speaking further, Hopkins, who now a boxing promoter said Joshua will learn from the mistake of their first bout against Fury to win the second clash.
“I figure [Joshua] makes the adjustments, figures him out and realise he’s got to go for the body instead of the head.
“And then he will fall. The head will hit the knees.
“Joshua and Fury must fight to secure that undisputed heavyweight king of boxing. The heavyweight has always been the head of the body of the boxing world,” Hopkins explained.
But before the mega fight can happen, Joshua will face mandatory challenger, Kubrat Pulev while Fury will fight Deontay Wilder for a third time, having dethroned the American in February.
