Tyson Fury says he plans to use the same strategy he used to beat Wilder against Anthony Joshua

4 rounds the bodybuilder will be stopped! And 4 times he'll spit his gum shield out while he's on his knees! Lol I hope Deontay and the bomb squad confront Fury after the fight, and throw Joshua's battered carcass over the ring ropes!

 

Problem might be that Fury has underestimated Joshuas Core strength, he's a bigger ,stronger frame than Wilder, may not hit as hard but he wont Rag Doll Joshua like he did Wilder. Only factor with this that is in Furys favour is he (Fury) seems to have endless stamina while Joshua gasses quite quickly , if Fury come in 260-80 he will tire Joshua quickly & fade plus Furys better footwork I think Joshua is in for a hard nights work....But Joshua can hit with both hands harder than Fury & better combinations than Wilder...what am I sayin Wilder can't do combinations , so it wont be an easy fight at all for either man!

 

He’s just playing with Joshua’s weak psyche

 

Don't trust what Fury says..he could adopt another gameplan

 

If he really would (which he wouldn't), Joshua would probably stop him early.

 

He was breathing heavy in the latter round its true but he just seems to get that 2nd wind, but I take your point that all that rag dolling etc .
As far as Joshua Ruiz goes , I think people forget that Joshua had been preparing for that lump Miller & had packed on the poundage so Miller couldn't push & maul him around , then he ended up having deal someone with quick hands not to mention somebody with good boxing skills , better than his & Millers. He came in lighter to run , so here's the thing, does he come in lighter to try & catch Fury ( if he could cut the ring it'd help but he's a novice so he cant trap Fury . Or does he come in heavy & strong to push fury around & along the ropes, I'm pretty sure he's stronger but I think Fury is a naturally strong man ...TBH , I dont rate Joshua's trainer, he'd do better getting Roach over, he knows Fury & likes the aggressive style, Joshua has to go in there from the off & be the boss or he will lose !

 

I thought he was crazy when he said he was going to stand toe to toe with Wilder and slug it out. He still brought his gypsy slickness but he sat on his punches and connected with powerful shots to take him out. Fury has more power than anyone gave him credit for. AJ can be chinny, as Fat Andy demonstrated. Fury has the power, speed and boxing IQ to give AJ a proper beating. He leaves himself open for more counters and big shots from AJ but I can easily see Fury employing the same strategy as the wilder fight to beat AJ. AJ beat fat Andy pretty easily in the rematch by boxing and running but he isn’t going to be able to run from Fury. This is going to be a difficult fight for AJ. His only hope is that Fury loses focus and comes in out of shape. Fury in top form is a beast.

 

Good gameplan. AJ got a confidence issue. The feints alone will make him spit out his mouthguard.

 

I'm with those saying it's probably mind games, but now that we know Fury has this in his arsenal, there's no reason he can't switch up his tactics mid-fight. Joshua might come out cautious and unsure what to expect, allowing Fury to outbox him early and catch him off guard. Then when AJ gets a little brave coming forward and maybe gets caught by a counter, Fury can start walking him down and taxing his stamina.

 

You may be right. AJ needs to nullify Fury's holding and leaning immediately. The first time Fury grabs and starts leaning on him, AJ needs to violently thrash his head around in the clinch, making a bad head clash a real threat. I'm not one for dirty fighting, but I don't like guys that clinch and hold as a defensive strategy either.

 

AJ is a Glass Jawed fighter but it took Fury seven rounds to get rid of Wilder and even then it wasn't a KO Wilder was stopped by corner quittage. Wilder is a Glass Jawed fighter also. Do we really think AJ has a worse Chin than Wilder? I sure don't. Not so sure Fury's gameplan works in this fight. I expect a very boring UD with very few punches thrown by either fighter.
