Tyson Fury predicts how many rounds he will take to beat Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury has predicted he will stop Anthony Joshua within seven rounds should the two meet later this year.

Earlier on Wednesday it emerged that Joshua had reportedly accepted Fury's offer ahead of a proposed fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Fury revealed yesterday that he has offered Joshua a 60:40 split for their proposed 'Battle of Britain' fight.

Talks are still ongoing, Fury reportedly wanting the fight to be held in November whilst Joshua wants a bout on December 17 in the Welsh capital.

Fury has already been made the heavy favourite by the bookmakers, with the Gypsy King remaining undefeated in his career.

Joshua, meanwhile, would come into the fight with three losses in his last five, and two consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, who many believe Fury will face in an unification bout in 2023.

And whilst Fury is seemingly confident in his abilities to defeat Joshua, he has admitted that 'anything could happen'.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: "It's two giant heavyweights. Anything can happen when you've got two men as big as we are swinging at each other. However, I've always said what happens when I fight Joshua - he gets cleaned out within six or seven rounds."
