Former two-weight world champion Billy Joe Saunders has backed Anthony Joshua’s physical strength and punching accuracy as the qualities that could prove decisive when he eventually meets Tyson Fury, while acknowledging that Fury’s superior boxing technique makes the all-British heavyweight showdown too close to call.
Saunders, a long-time friend of Fury, offered a balanced assessment of the anticipated clash, suggesting the outcome will ultimately be determined by whichever fighter is better able to execute his game plan on the night.
“They’ve both got their own attributes. AJ’s stronger, a cleaner puncher. Tyson’s a better boxer, more slick.
“Whoever can put together the best game plan will win, I think,” Saunders said in an interview with The Stomping Ground. Related News NADECO rejects Abdulsalami’s claims on Abiola, military rule N5.2tn remains outside banks despite CBN cashless push Oyo slams curfew on 10 LGAs around National Park
The fight remains without a confirmed date or venue, with promoter Frank Warren previously saying a meeting between all parties must first take place before those details can be locked in.
