Anthony Joshua will beat Tyson Fury if he does ONE thing during world title mega-fight
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are hopeful of fighting each other next year.

Anthony Joshua could beat Tyson Fury, but he has to fight disciplined, rather than go and try to knock Fury out, according to boxing legend Ray Mancini. Joshua and Fury hold all of the heavyweight belts in the division.
Joshua won back the WBA, WBO and IBF belts he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr last summer with a points win over the Mexican in December.
Fury picked up the WBC crown with his devastating TKO win over Deontay Wilder in February.
And now the two are on course to fight each other for all the belts, though the fight probably won't happen until next year.

Joshua has mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev to deal with while Fury is tied to a third Wilder fight.
Boxing has also been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, making Joshua vs Fury an unlikely fight for 2020.
Most are picking Fury to win the fight, but Mancini thinks that if Joshua stays disciplined, he'll be victorious.

He also says, however, that if he tries to be wild and goes for an all-out attack, Fury will make him look silly.
"He's a more stylistic fighter, I got to tell you, if Joshua can fight a very disciplined fight, it has to be disciplined," Mancini told iFL TV.
"And he doesn't get caught with big punches, I think he beats Fury, I think he'll win.
"I don't like how he beat Andy Ruiz last time.
"I thought he stunk out the joint, but he beat him the easiest way, I got it.
"For Fury, he'd have to attack, he could beat Fury if he's disciplined.
"But if he tries to go toe-to-toe, that's made for Fury, Fury will make him look silly.
"Fury moves well, he boxes, turns, he's not a big puncher, if he hits you he'll hurt you because he's so big.
"If Joshua is disciplined he beats Fury, if he doesn't, Fury beats him."
