Deontay Wilder would KNOCK OUT Anthony Joshua, says Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury claims Deontay Wilder is the second-best heavyweight in the world. The "Gypsy King" believes Wilder would knock out Anthony Joshua if the pair fought. Fury beat Wilder in the seventh round of their February rematch to win the WBC title. The pair are due to meet again for a trilogy fight later this year. In an interview on the Queensbury Promotions YouTube channel, Fury said: “Deontay Wilder is the second-best heavyweight in the world. I believe he knocks Anthony Joshua out and everyone behind me. “Everybody else out there, I think he knocks them out because me being a master boxer and people think ‘just go forward on Deontay Wilder now you knock him out’. The fact of the matter is if they watch the tape I’m not just going forward, I was using feints, I was using a calculated jab, I was going up and downstairs, hitting the body and hitting the head. “I was also using the double feint with the front foot, using the front legs as levers to jump in and land big shots on him and it’s not so easy to do. Deontay Wilder also landed some big punches on me during the fight. Punches which would have taken a lot of people out. With me being heavy and a giant, fully hydrated, fully fit and fully active, I didn’t feel the same as I did in the first fight.” Source: talksport
