Tyson Fury has shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated showdown between Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois, scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Fury, who will be sitting in the front row, is eager to witness two of his heavyweight rivals battle it out for the IBF title.
The fight comes just months after Fury’s historic undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk, where he missed out on the chance to become the first man to hold all four major heavyweight titles simultaneously.
A second fight with Usyk is slated for the end of the year, but the Ukrainian was forced to relinquish the IBF title to facilitate a rematch.
As a result, the strap was passed to Dubois, who was the interim belt holder.
Despite being familiar with both fighters, Fury is struggling to pick a winner.
However, he predicts that Joshua and Dubois will deliver a great fight for the record-breaking 96,000-strong crowd that will pack into England’s national stadium.
Fury said:
“It’s heavyweight boxing, anybody can beat anybody, as we’ve seen in the past.”
“Who is gonna win? I don’t know. I don’t know anything about boxing, obviously.
Every time I say a prediction I get it wrong anyway.

“I predict it will be a good fight. It looks like someone might get knocked out.
“They are both big old punchers, ain’t they?
“You wouldn’t want to get punched in the face or in the b******s by any of them.”
Fury has been keeping a low profile since suffering his first loss.
The 36-year-old started well against Usyk before being wobbled and dropped during a split-decision defeat that really should’ve been scored unanimously against him.
Usyk didn’t sit on the fence when asked about Joshua vs Dubois.
“My favourite is Anthony Joshua but I am very bad at predictions. But I will predict Anthony Joshua.”
“I treat Daniel Dubois with respect. I wish him good luck and let him become the champion someday – that he trains well.
“There is no way to compare [Dubois and Joshua] because they are completely different fighters.
Different skills; different styles. Totally different boxers.
“To be fair, I don’t think [Dubois can reach Joshua’s level].
“I am sorry for saying this, but this is the truth and I’m telling it.”
The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the anticipation is palpable. Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois promises to be an instant classic, with Tyson Fury’s prediction merely adding fuel to the fire.
