ANTHONY JOSHUA is the only fighter capable of getting the better of Tyson Fury, it’s been claimed.
A staggering 29 men have tried and failed to hand The Gypsy King the first loss of his 14-year-long professional career.

But Anthony Joshua is hell-bent on inflicting defeat on Fury before he retires for good
Former two-division champ Ricky Hatton reckons AJ has the best chance of beating Fury
Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder came close in their 2018 dust-up, but he ultimately fell short in their follow-up bouts in 2020 and 2021.
But former two-weight world champ Ricky Hatton believes AJ can succeed where Wilder – and most recently Dillian Whyte – failed.
He told Fair Betting Sites: “With AJ though you don’t just get an Olympic gold medal if you haven’t got the boxing ability.
“He’s also got punching power. If anybody is going to beat Tyson Fury, it probably will be Anthony Joshua.”
Fury, 34, has bamboozled his opponents with his elusiveness and dazzling footwork – skills Hatton believes may be too much for Joshua to overcome.
He said: “I just think that Tyson has all the advantages.
“He’s got the boxing brain, I think he can change his tactics mid fight and stuff like that. He’s so versatile.
“He can go to war, he can box at a distance, he has a wonderful defence, he can go southpaw, orthodox.
“And I don’t know if AJ – who has done the country really proud being two-tie heavyweight champion of the world, Olympic gold medalist.
“I don’t know if he’s good enough to suss out the puzzle of Tyson Fury.
“I think he’d just be too clever and too good all around I think.”
Fury will be back in the ring on Saturday night in a Tottenham trilogy fight with old foe Derek Chisora.

Joshua, meanwhile, will look to return to the ring in “late March” following consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
During an appearance on the DAZN Boxing show, promoter Hearn said: “At the moment, AJ’s plans are he is due to fight in late March, and we’re locking that in.”
