Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua: Who is the favourite?

The heavyweight pair could finally face-off this year

Tyson Fury convincingly despatched Deontay Wilder intheir rematch on Sunday and the Gypsy King now has a mouth-watering clash withAnthony Joshua firmly in his sights.

After a controversial draw in his first bout with Wilder 14months ago, Fury delivered a stunning performance that saw his opponent’scorner throw in the towel in the seventh round.

Despite whispers of a trilogy-concluding rematch with Wilder as early as this summer, Joshua is the fight the boxing world wants to see and the Brit is 4/1 to be Fury’s next opponent.

And on current form, AJ would head into the fight as the underdog, with Fury priced at 1/2 to triumph.

Fury’s comeback

The 31-year-old was out of the ring for almost three yearsafter beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. But after losing 10 stone and puttingpersonal problems behind him, Fury is in the shape of his life.

His dominant display against Wilder in Las Vegas has led to comparisons with boxing great Lennox Lewis. Now he’s threatening to eclipse Joshua as the nation’s golden boy.

Will Joshua agree to it?

Fury called out AJ following his first fight with Wilder, labellinghim a chicken, and he’s got his eyes on becoming the undisputed worldheavyweight champion by taking the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles.
