“The Krusher” Sergey Kovalev is leaning towards Tyson Fury defeating Anthony Joshua in the “Battle of Britain” when the two former world heavyweight champions meet in 2025.
Chin “fragile”.
Kovalev says Joshua is “fragile” in the chin department, and that’s why he thinks Fury can win. Sergey doesn’t say that Fury’s power isn’t at the level of the fighters that AJ has had problems with during his career.
Power punchers that hurt Joshua
– Wladimir Klitschko
– Andy Ruiz Jr.
– Daniel Dubois
– Alexander Povetkin
– Dillian Whyte
Only two of those fighters beat Joshua, which shows that he is resilient and finds a way to recover when he is injured during his fights. Fury is nowhere near any of those fighters in terms of power, and his method of scoring knockouts involves mauling his opponents. Joshua is too powerful to be taken down by Fury’s hold and tilt tactics.
It is unclear whether Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) will agree to fight Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) after suffering his second defeat against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night in Riyadh .
After the fight, Fury, 36, sounded like a bitter politician, angry with the judges and in complete and utter denial of what had happened. His love for money will probably bring him back.
There is too much green clothing for the Gyspy King not to return for two lucrative fights against the faded Joshua, who was blown out of the water by Daniel Dubois on September 21. If Fury wasn’t in the money, he’d probably retire and never be seen again, but he won’t be able to resist coming back for the $100 million payday against AJ. The two fighters are expected to pull in more than $100 million for their “Battle of Britain” matchup.
“Joshua does not keep punches to the head, you know? Joshua has a fragile head. A little, and he has already danced,” said Sergey Kovalev to secondsoutsaying that Anthony Joshua’s punch resistance is poor. “I don’t know who will win, but I think Tyson Fury will win (against) Joshua.”
