ANTHONY JOSHUA could knock out Tyson Fury, according to the Gypsy King's uncle and former trainer Peter.

And Peter, who led Tyson to victory over Wladimir Klitschko seven years ago before parting ways with his nephew, gives Joshua a real chance of beating The Gypsy King.
Speaking after AJ knocked out Pulev back in 2019, he said: "It will be a great fight.
"Both up for it, aren’t they. So it’ll be a great fight if it happens.

Joshua has accepted a 60/40 split in favour of Fury in order to get the fight on.

This makes a dual broadcast the only real solution if they are to make the fight.
Fury's promoter George Warren has also insisted they need the contracts to be signed next week.
He said: "We need to be getting contracts signed next week.
"I don’t think that’s difficult. If everyone wants to make it, it can be done and I believe the other side wants to make it.
