Anthony Joshua will be easiest fight of Tyson Fury's career, says brother Tommy FuryDAZN
Tyson Fury's brother Tommy, who fights next on Friday Nov. 13, offered no surprises with his prediction for the planned 2021 fight vs. Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury is on another level to Anthony Joshua and will enjoy the easiest fight of his career so far when the two finally clash in 2021, says the WBC champion's brother and fellow professional boxer Tommy Fury.

Speaking to Press Box PR ahead of his own next in-ring assignment, set for the undercard of Mark Heffron vs Denzel Bentley on Friday, Nov. 13 against an opponent to be confirmed at London's BT Sport Studios, the 21-year-old described WBA, WBO and IBF champion Joshua as "musclebound" and claimed his older brother wear him down late in the fight.

"I'm not being biased but the Joshua fight will be the easiest fight of Tyson's career," he said. "Tyson's an all-around better fighter than Joshua. Joshua's a great champion and achieved a lot in his career but Tyson's just on that next level.

"There's not anything that Joshua does that poses a threat. He comes forward and he throws a one-two, a hook and the occasional uppercut - that's it.

"For my money, Wilder would have had his way with Joshua. Wilder's a lot more explosive and a harder hitter, so if Tyson has done that to Wilder, what is he gonna do to Joshua? The Joshua fight would be a foregone conclusion.

"If Tyson chose to box, Joshua wouldn't get near him. If Tyson wants to fight AJ like he did Wilder then he ain't going to win that battle because Tyson is six-feet-nine inches, nearly 20 stone and has got big, big firepower now. If a massive puncher like Wilder couldn't do anything with that, what's Joshua going to do?

"Joshua is a big man but he's musclebound and in the late rounds that will have an effect. As we've seen in a lot of Joshua's fights, when he's been in a proper fight, he has gassed out. Round six, seven and eight he has become sloppy and that's when I think Tyson will get him out of there."

The younger Fury has won his first three professional bouts, two by knockout. He was also on hit ITV show "Love Island" but has no interest in being linked with other boxers who have appeared on the romance-based reality show, such as Idris Virgo .

"I'm not interested in fighting for fame or money, I'm interested in becoming world champion," he continued. "I'm not interested in little fantasy Love Island v Love Island fights.

"I'm a professional sportsman and I don't see boxing as a game; I'm in this job to hurt people, do serious damage and prove to people I'm a fighting man.

"Love Island was a great way to showcase my personality and I've done that now. I've got that fun side and I've got the other side to me and right now, a week away from my fight, I'm definitely on that other side.

"All I can see is carnage everywhere. I'm not interested in being a Mr. Nice Guy, I'm interested in breaking someone's face in a week's time.

“I'm feeling good, I'm feeling very fit ahead of this fight. I just want to get in there and show everybody that this is what I do and this is me.

"Tune in next week because you're gonna see a whole different set of skills from me; my boxing, my power, my movement and I'm looking to put a great show on."
