Usyk Backs Anthony Joshua to Beat Tyson Fury in Potential Heavyweight Superfight

Posted : 15 April 2026

Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has tipped Anthony Joshua to come out on top if he eventually faces Tyson Fury in a long-awaited British boxing showdown.

The Ukrainian champion, who has previously defeated both fighters in separate bouts, made his prediction during recent media appearances as negotiations continue to revive talks for a blockbuster heavyweight clash. The potential fight between Joshua and Fury has been discussed for years but has repeatedly fallen through due to scheduling issues and contractual complications.

Usyk, who has also trained alongside Joshua in Spain during his recovery period, expressed strong belief in the former unified champion’s current condition and mindset. He praised Joshua’s dedication in training, describing him as focused, disciplined, and physically in strong shape ahead of a possible return to elite competition.

According to Usyk, Joshua has the tools needed to overcome Fury, especially if he maintains his current work ethic and mental strength. His comments have added further intrigue to the ongoing discussion surrounding one of boxing’s most anticipated potential matchups.

The Ukrainian champion also called for greater support for fighters during difficult phases of their careers, stressing that setbacks are part of professional sport and should not define an athlete’s legacy. He highlighted the importance of unity among fans and encouraged patience as fighters prepare for major bouts.

Joshua’s comeback plans remain under evaluation following a difficult period that included injury setbacks and personal challenges, while Fury continues to pursue high-profile fights after his recent return to the ring. A clash between the two British heavyweights remains one of the most demanded events in boxing.

With both camps still exploring terms, Usyk’s endorsement of Joshua adds another layer of debate to a rivalry that has yet to be settled inside the ring.
