Joseph Parker explains why Tyson Fury will knock Anthony Joshua out

Joseph Parker insists that training partner Tyson Fury will stop Anthony Joshua in their planned mega fight in December, revealing that the Gypsy King has the best bike of any fighter he’s ever seen.

Joshua fell to a second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August, but has since renewed his longstanding rivalry with Fury, with his management team, 258, revealing that they have “accepted all the terms” for the fight to go on.

Former heavyweight champion Parker, who will be battling Joe Joyce for the WBO interim title on Saturday night, is aware that his opinion comes from a biased standpoint, close to Fury, but he is adamant that the WBC champion will get the job done no matter how then.

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed last week that contracts have been sent to Camp AJ, where the Gypsy King will face a 60-40 split, while a rematch will be equal to 50-50 if Joshua claims victory.

Parker, who is currently training daily with Fury in Morecambe, insists the Briton doesn’t want to be too rowdy until the fight is officially announced.

“Not really,” Parker told Sportsmail, when asked if Fury has shared much about the fight talks. “We do ask him questions, but he just says that the teams are working on it and trying to make something happen. I don’t think he wants to say anything unless it’s locked up.

“He wants the fight to happen, but my fight with Joe Joyce took so long to happen, so I can only imagine how long it will be before that fight closes, with everything both teams want.”

The proposed fight will take place on December 3, with Cardiff’s Principality Stadium – which hosted Joshua’s 2018 win over Parker – the frontrunner to host the massive event.

However, Parker believes Fury will have more success, but admits he didn’t quite understand how good the undefeated heavyweight is until they joined forces.

Parker chose to train with Andy Lee (center) on the recommendation of his training partner

“Everyone knows what I think, which is Tyson holding him back,” he said. “I never really understood how Tyson fought until I started training with him, and I saw that he would outperform any fighter in any weight class I’ve ever trained with.

“He has the biggest bike of any fighter I’ve ever trained with. He just keeps going and going and going – he doesn’t stop.

“AJ is a big puncher, so he always has that chance to connect well with Tyson. I’m obviously biased because we’re close, but even if I say I’ll put on my boxing hat and pick Tyson, people will just link it back to me being close to him. But I think so; I think he’ll stop him.’

Parker, who first met Fury in 2017, since appointing Andy Lee as his trainer on the Brit’s recommendation and even stayed at the Gypsy King’s house prior to his first win over Derek Chisora ​​in 2021, says Joshua any approach he chooses will lose.

“If Joshua comes to shoot, I think Tyson will take him out early, before round six,” he said. “If Joshua gets on the defensive it will be harder to get him out of there, but I do think Tyson will stop him.

“Like I said, with the pace of work Tyson has, he’ll work everyone harder. If you think he’s tired, he’s not tired. If you think it’s ready, it’s not ready yet. He just keeps going.’

Joshua will enter the fight after suffering consecutive defeats against Oleksandr Usyk

Fury, meanwhile, has not fought since Dillian Whyte’s emphatic retirement at Wembley in April

After losing twice on the bounce, there are some who think there is a huge risk to go straight into a historic fight against Fury for Joshua, who would drop significantly in the heavyweight pecking order with another defeat.

Fury, meanwhile, hasn’t fought since he emphatically stopped Dillian Whyte in April, and now he wants to fight before taking on WBA, WBO and IBF champion Usyk for the undisputed championship next year.

A Joshua win, though he has to beat Fury twice, would still make him a heavyweight protagonist, and Parker insists it’s an opportunity no fighter could turn down.

“If I was in that position, and I just lost the title and I’m offered another world title fight, as a fighter you would want to have every chance to become world champion again,” he said.

“If he’s willing to do the job and he’s self-supporting, then he should take it. Who knows when the next opportunity might come.’
