AJ, 34, is getting ready to face former UFC heavyweight king Franc
ANTHONY JOSHUA has picked Oleksandr Usyk to beat Tyson Fury… but hopes to be confirmed mistaken.
AJ, 34, is getting ready to face former UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on Friday night time.
Ngannou, 37, shocked the boxing world by pushing Fury all the best way on his skilled boxing debut in October, dropping The Gypsy King before narrowly losing a split decision.
Now Joshua is tasked with beating the MMA star in a extra comprehensive manner as he eyes the winner of Fury-Usyk on May 18.
AJ has gained his last three fights since struggling back-to-back defeats to Usyk in Britain and Saudi.
And while he believes his former opponent will get the better of Fury, he hopes his compatriot can get the job executed to arrange a blockbuster all-British battle.
Chatting with iFL TV, he stated: "I feel Usyk will win."
When pressed on who he needs to have their hand raised, he added: "It's a terrific query. In all probability Fury, logically, as a result of it's a much bigger battle.
"Properly, that's if he fights me, he all the time says he doesn't need to battle. Nevertheless it's a much bigger battle for me down the line if he wins.
"That's the only cause I might say Fury, for my own benefit. Very selfish causes."
