LEGENDARY heavyweight boxer George Foreman ‘cannot see’ how Anthony Joshua will beat Tyson Fury.
The two British superstars are on a collision course to face one another in the coming months after signing contracts for the fight earlier this week.
And while many see it as a difficult fight to call, 72-year-old Foreman feels Fury is the firm favourite.
Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “That boy Tyson Fury, you’re going to have to bring everything you’ve got to beat him.
“And I’m going to be honest with you, I just cannot see Joshua beating him.
“But I sure would buy some tickets to see what would happen, I’m that curious about it.
“But that Tyson Fury man, woooh, Fury – I mean, how did he get the name?”
Fury, 32, was named after iconic heavyweight Mike Tyson and would go on to emulate him by becoming world heavyweight champion.
AJ and The Gypsy King have agreed a deal for a four-belt showdown this summer, but a location and date still need to be agreed.

Hearn told ESPN earlier this week: “We’d like to get a site deal confirmed in the next month.
“The hard part is always getting everybody to put pen to paper. But this was a major effort from all parties to get this over the line.
“You had rival promoters, rival networks and rival fighters. I actually feel we’ve done the hard part.”
A number of locations are being considered for the fight, but the UK remains unlikely if the coronavirus pandemic restricts organisers from welcoming a full capacity crowd.
