Froch Predicts Joshua Could Knock Out Fury in Potential 2025 Clash
Carl Froch believes that Anthony Joshua has the potential to knock out Tyson Fury if the two heavyweights face off in 2025. Joshua is positioning hi
“When he’s in close he ties you up, but he wouldn’t be able to bully Joshua. Joshua is a two time champion, Olympic champion, both lost to Usyk, but out of 24 rounds AJ didn’t win many.
“Fury also lost to Usyk but he gave him a better go. He nearly got stopped in round nine but so did Joshua.
“Looking at them now, AJ is coming off three or four wins. The fact he has momentum, he has his confidence back, he’s an athlete, he looks like a machine. He takes the sport very seriously.
“Boxing is all about timing. Fury was on the p**s last week. But the good ones, we don’t drink between the fights.
mself for a shot at the ‘Gypsy King,’ contingent on the outcome of Fury’s upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.
Both Joshua and Fury have experienced defeats at the hands of Usyk, with Fury suffering a brutal points loss in their undisputed fight this past May. This has led former world champion Froch to assert that Joshua, currently enjoying a positive run of form, could emerge victorious in a future bout against Fury.
He said: “I’ve always thought Fury beats Joshua, I think he’s too fast, too light on his feet, good movement, more of a natural talent, he’s boxed from a younger age, he has that flair and ability.
“His distance, his timing – there are so many things he does right that you can’t teach, head movement, feints.
“Timing-wise, Anthony Joshua will probably knock out Tyson Fury just cause of where they are in their careers. But what a great fight.”
‘The Cobra’ has often been critical of Joshua and even backed Fury to beat him in the past, but has surprisingly lauded the former Olympic gold medallist.
Anthony Joshua is on a positive streak, winning four consecutive fights since his 2022 rematch defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. Under the guidance of new trainer Ben Davison, Joshua has shown impressive form, securing emphatic stoppages against Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in his most recent bouts.
Despite this surge, Tyson Fury is likely to remain the favorite due to his dominant record, marred by just one defeat in his latest fight. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has confirmed that the highly anticipated showdown between Joshua and Fury is set to take place in 2025.
