John Fury is backing Anthony Joshua to defy the odds and win his world heavyweight titles back from Oleksandr Usyk this summer.
The former world heavyweight champion lost his belts for a second time back in September when he was comprehensively beaten at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by Usyk. And after walking into the ring for that bout as favourite, the betting odds have flipped completely with bookies now picking the Ukrainian as the more likely winner.
And one man who has continued to insist that Joshua will lose is his old rival and the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The Manchester native was inches away from signing to a fight that would finally settle their years-long rivalry last year, but was court ordered to face Deontay Wilder instead.
