Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has tipped Anthony Joshua to defeat Tyson Fury in a potential blockbuster “Battle of Britain,” citing the former champion’s work rate and renewed mentality following their recent training sessions.

Usyk’s prediction comes amid renewed talks for a long-awaited clash between Joshua and Fury, a fight that has eluded boxing fans for years despite repeated negotiations between both camps.

Confidence from inside the camp

The Ukrainian champion, who has shared the ring twice with Joshua and now trains alongside him, expressed strong confidence in the Briton’s chances. According to reports, Usyk did not hesitate in backing Joshua, insisting that his improved focus and intensity in camp could make the difference against Fury.

Their unexpected training partnership has drawn attention across the boxing world, with both fighters working closely in recent weeks as Joshua prepares for a return that could lead to a showdown with Fury.

Usyk has even pledged to help Joshua tactically, saying he believes the former two-time world champion has what it takes to overcome Fury’s size and experience.

Renewed hopes for a historic fight

The prospect of a Joshua–Fury clash has gained momentum again following Fury’s recent return to the ring and public callout of his longtime rival.

Promoters and insiders suggest 2026 could finally deliver the all-British heavyweight showdown, widely regarded as one of the biggest fights in boxing history.

Usyk, who has previously defeated both men in the ring, believes Joshua’s current form and mindset give him the edge if the fight materialises. Some reports also indicate the champion is willing to step aside from his own plans to allow the blockbuster bout to happen.

A defining moment ahead

For Joshua, a victory over Fury would mark a major career resurgence and potentially return him to the top of the heavyweight division. For Fury, it represents a chance to cement his legacy in what many consider the defining fight of his era.

With negotiations ongoing and momentum building, Usyk’s bold prediction has added fresh intrigue to a matchup that could finally become reality—setting the stage for one of boxing’s most anticipated battles.
