Roy Jones Jr Predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua After Both Losing To Usyk: “He Has The Edge”

Roy Jones Jr has given an insight into who he believes wins between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The British heavyweight rivals are still being linked with one another despite Fury announcing his retirement from boxing at the beginning of January.

After ‘The Gypsy King’ suffered a second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, it was speculated that the 36-year-old would finally meet ‘AJ’ in what would no doubt be the biggest fight in British boxing.

Joshua – who has also lost twice to Usyk – is now preparing to make his return to the ring after he was defeated by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in September.

The 35-year-old was floored three times before ‘Dynamite’ knocked him out in devastating fashion in the fifth round of their bout at Wembley Stadium.

Speaking to iFL TV, Jones was asked to predict who he believes would come out on top if a fight between Fury and Joshua ever happens.

“I like both guys, so it’s hard for me to really say, but because of their past experiences and what I’ve seen, I would probably give Fury the edge.

Looking at his two fights with Usyk, and Joshua’s two fights with Usyk, I think he [Fury] made a little better adjustments fighting Usyk than Joshua did, so I would probably give him [Fury] the edge.”

Despite his retirement announcement, it remains unclear whether ‘The Gypsy King’ intends to finally walk away from the sport or can be tempted back by the ‘AJ’ bout.

An all-British showdown has been many years in the making, but fans may be left wondering what would have happened if the pair had finally locked horns.
