Kovalev On Fury Vs Joshua: ‘Joshua Has A Fragile Head’

“The Krusher” Sergey Kovalev is tipping Tyson Fury to defeat Anthony Joshua in the “Battle of Britain” when the two former world heavyweight champions meet in 2025.

“Fragile” chin.

Kovalev says Joshua is “fragile” in the chin department, which is why he believes Fury can win. Sergey isn’t saying that Fury’s power isn’t on par with the fighters AJ has had trouble with during his career.

Power Punchers that hurt Joshua

– Wladimir Klitschko
– Andy Ruiz Jr.
– Daniel Dubois
– Alexander Povetkin
– Dillian Whyte

Only two of those fighters beat Joshua, which shows that he is resilient and finds a way to bounce back when he gets hurt during his fights. Fury doesn’t come close to either of those fighters in terms of power, and his method of scoring knockouts involves maiming his opponents. Joshua is too powerful to be worn down by Fury’s clinch and tilt tactics.

It is unclear whether Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) will agree to fight Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) after suffering his second loss against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night in Riyadh .

After the fight, Fury, 36, looked like a bitter politician, angry at the judges and in complete and utter denial of what had happened. His love of money will probably bring him back.

There’s too much green stuff for the Gypsy King not to return for two lucrative fights against the faded Joshua, who was blown out of the water by Daniel Dubois on September 21. If Fury didn’t like the money, he’d probably retire and never see it again, but he can’t resist coming back for the 100 million dollars payday against AJ. Both fighters are expected to bring in more than $100 million for their “Battle of Britain” showdown.

“Joshua is not punching his head, you know? Joshua has a fragile head. A little bit, and he’s already dancing,” said Sergey Kovalev secondsoutsaying Anthony Joshua’s punch resistance is poor. “I don’t know who will win, but I think Tyson Fury will win (against) Joshua.”
