Anthony Joshua receives more backing to beat "arrogant" Tyson Fury in title fight

Deontay Wilder's coach believes Anthony Joshua can cause "arrogant" Tyson Fury trouble if he adopts a more aggressive style in their potential fight.

Joshua was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight rematch last month and it appeared that he would be out of the world title picture for the first time in several years. However, his long-term rival Fury decided to offer 'AJ' the chance to seek immediate redemption again by challenging for his WBC heavyweight title on December 3.

'AJ' has accepted the chance to take on Fury at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and is awaiting a contract with the bout yet to be officially confirmed. Despite Fury likely going to go into the fight as heavy favourite, Wilder's coach Malik Scott believes if Joshua sticks to a strict game plan, he could pick up a win in shock fashion. "I really can't say [who wins]. I can't say because if you go off of the last fight, stylistically, Fury and Usyk have a different style," Scott told Fair Betting Sites when assessing the potential clash.
