In a bold declaration ahead of his upcoming fight, Tyson Fury has made it clear that he intends to knock out Anthony Joshua within seven rounds when they meet on December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. This pronouncement comes as the boxing world eagerly anticipates the bout, which is seen as a significant showdown between two of Britain’s most prominent heavyweights.

Fury, speaking on the Furocity YouTube channel, emphasized his confidence in securing a decisive victory, stating, “I’m just going to knock him out, one hundred per cent. I’m going to box the head off him and stop him inside six or seven rounds.” He views this match as a necessary preparation for a potential third fight with Oleksandr Usyk, who has previously defeated him twice on points in 2024.

Further fueling the pre-fight rivalry, Fury dismissed Joshua’s abilities, referring to him as an “old bum” and suggesting that Joshua’s focus on weightlifting has hindered his speed and stamina. “Too many weights, not enough speed. Too many weights, no cardio. So I will cut through him like a hot knife through butter,” Fury asserted, showcasing his characteristic bravado.

As the December 11 date approaches, fans and analysts alike are keenly observing the psychological warfare between the two fighters. Fury’s comments not only raise the stakes for the fight but also highlight the contrasting styles and career trajectories of both athletes, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying encounter in the ring.
