Tyson Fury tells talkSPORT exactly how he plans to beat Anthony Joshua

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has told talkSPORT he plans to use brains over brawn if he meets current IBF, WBA, and IBO title holder Anthony Joshua when he returns to the ring.

The two fighters have embarked on a war of words as Fury begins his attempt to return to fitness following a two-year absence after his boxing license was revoked.

And as the possibility of a bout looms, Fury has revealed just how he plans to take down the undefeated Joshua.

Speaking to talkSPORT’s Fight Night show, Fury said: “He [Anthony Joshua] doesn’t have great footwork or upper body movement, and he doesn’t move too good on angles.

“To meet a fighter like myself who does have good footwork, does have good lateral movement, and can move on angles, that equals disaster.

“With me being knowledgeable about boxing and heavyweight boxing - I study it and I have done for many, many years - I understand how I have to beat these guys.

“To beat someone with those attributes it would be hard but someone of my ability can move, box, and twist, and all I would have to do is make him miss a bit. As we saw against Wladimir [Klitschko], he blew a gasket trying to land his punches.

“You just have to go back to [Muhammad] Ali and [George] Foreman - the big puncher against the big mover. I think boxing, especially heavyweight, is a chess match. More of a brains match rather than who is the strongest or quickest.”
