    Fury isn't faster than Joshua.
    Fury doesn't hit as hard a Joshua.

    Perhaps Fury can clinch better and lay across/push Usyk down better than Joshu as he's a bit taller but what weapons does Fury have that Joshua doesn't?

    I'm going with Usyk by UD as he potshots his way to a win

    Yeah, Joshua is a better boxer than Fury LOL

    What indeed can Fury do better than Joshua aside from, well, just about everything? Joshua has better single shot power and nothing else.

    He's called robotic and has 3 losses for a reason

    Typical delusion from Fury's fanbase.

    Name one common opponent that Fury did better against.... yea there's none
    Fury struggled and was on survival mode against Walin and Ngannou, while Joshua blasted through them.

    Joshua has 3 losses because he will fight anyone unlike coward Fury running from anyone with a pulse, well its the end of the road for him now. Now he gets totally exposed... but that wont phaze his brainmelt fans, they'll still pay for Fury vs Chisora 4 and still call him the GOAT.

    Fury ran away from Wlad in the most boring fight and then got popped for PED.

    Joshua faced him head on, dropped and stopped him.... so yea Joshua had the better win, by far.

    Fury popped for the Hammer fight which was before Wlad. Get your facts right. AJ/Wlad was a more entertaining fight to watch but it was not a better win.

    Lean on Usyk, clinch better, more dirty tactics.

    Fury is more skilled and awkward than AJ he is also tougher and has more heart. AJ obviously has better one punch power and is more explosive. AJ is good at sticking to a game plan but can't adjust mid fight like Fury.
    Fury will use feints and a lot of head movement he is also good at working in the clinch and fighting dirty which I think he will need to do a bit of against Usyk.

    Be gracious in the ring if he loses, not throw the belts out of the ring, have a tantrum and storm off, only to return and snatch the mic, then rant about ‘lickle youuts’ and ‘Benga’, then some half arsed insight into the Russia Ukraine war.

    I think Fury at least has the brains to know there’s a chance he loses here, and if he does it’s because Usyk was better.

    Win wise he needs to keep Usyk at distance with the jab and use clinch opportunities to hit his body.
    Will be interesting if he goes more with his ‘old’ style rather than coming at Usyk.
    There’s a big risk with forcing a clinch and forcing big punches against a guy as mobile and high output as Usyk, as Joshua found out (and as he found out against Ruiz)
    Really tough fight to call.

    Sorry if you think going life and death with a 41 year old Wlad as opposed to a comfortable points victory in foreign soil without taking significant damage is better boxing, you’re mental.

    It won’t be easy but Fury can not allow Usyk to box his own fight or control the momentum of the fight,Joshua made a few mistakes,he never fought as the bigger man,he showed Usyk too much respect and he did not apply enough pressure on Usyk either. For these reasons Chisora did far better against Usyk than what Joshua did,however Chisora just did not have the fuel tank and waned off as the fight wore on . Fury is better in every department than Joshua except for obviously one punch power and Fury can deal with adversity during a fight far better than any current active Heavyweight .

    Usyk has only ever fought once a year as a Heavyweight,Dubois 2023,Joshua 2022,Joshua 2021, so that’s 3 fights in three years !

    Judge/Ref advantage. Tougher head despite John Fury not having the 'butt genes.
