British boxing legend Ricky Hatton has made his prediction for a potential fight between domestic rivals Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Once again, both Fury and Joshua could be on a collision course depending on a number of fight results.
Fury first needs to beat Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title on February 17 and navigate a potential rematch, meanwhile Joshua has to make a statement against Francis Ngannou later this year, an opponent Fury scraped past in 2023.
If the two can navigate their respective fights successfully, then it could be the set-up needed to make the fight which fans have been eager to see for many years.
Speaking to OLBG, Hatton found it difficult to pick a winner in what could be a fight for the ages.
"I wouldn’t like to say," Hatton began.
"AJ has found good form in his last couple of fights with an impressive knockout two fights ago and his last performance was very solid. Tyson struggled against Ngannou, so the big question is, and I’m saying this as a friend of Tyson and a boxing fan, did Tyson take Francis too lightly or has the Wilder fights took its toll on Tyson?
"The three fights Tyson and Wilder had most certainly taken its toll on Wilder. He looked nowhere near the same person against Joseph Parker, he looked a shot fighter whereas Tyson looked the same against Ngannou.
"But it’s whether he took Francis too lightly or whether the fights have taken its toll on Tyson, and we won’t know until we see him out next."
