Tyson Fury's dad gives bold backing to Anthony Joshua in Deontay Wilder fight

Tyson Fury's dad John believes Anthony Joshua will stop Deontay Wilder in their potential heavyweight fight this December.

Joshua made his heavyweight return in April when he comfortably outpointed Jermaine Franklin in London, as he regained momentum after two losses to Oleksandr Usyk. It was expected that he would return this summer, with a rematch against Dillian Whyte touted, but he is now in talks to face long-term rival Wilder in the Middle-East this December.

Wilder is known for his explosive power and could go into the contest as marginal favourite given his tight three contests with Fury. And the 'Gypsy King' himself this week suggested Joshua would struggle in the fight despite insisting he would support his fellow Briton.
