Former World Heavyweight Champion Tony Belew believes that Anthony Joshua there are good chances of defeating the holder of the WBC heavyweight title Tyson Fury.

“Undoubtedly, Fury will be the favorite in the fight, but I would not discount Joshua. We have seen what he has achieved before and Anthony can do it again. He knows that Fury will use the weight advantage. When you enter the ring with him, you immediately understand that this guy is able to move very quickly. He has incredible footwork, he moves very well for a big guy and that makes him a nightmare.

Unless you miscalculate Fury quickly, you will lose to him. So I think it will be a great fight because it can work in AJ's favor.

Joshua may be a very experienced boxer, but he is smart, he understands boxing better than people sometimes think. Everything is at stake here, and I think it will be a tough fight. Another factor will be the media circus, but Joshua needs to stay focused and not let the press and talk get to him. If he can do that, then he has a very good chance," Belew told The Daily Mail.
