Tyson Fury and his team’s confidence about winning a fight against Anthony Joshua has been questioned by promoter Eddie Hearn.
IBF, WBA and WBO champion Joshua and WBC title holder Fury could be just weeks away from confirming a dream fight for the division’s undisputed rulership.
Fury’s US-based promoter Bob Arum claimed he was 95 per cent confident that the fight would happen in 2021 and 100 per cent certain that the WBC champion would win.
Joshua’s promoter Hearn reacted: “I don’t think anyone can be 100 per cent confident about anyone winning a fight like this.
“They could fight 10 times and wouldn’t get 10 same results.
“I believe Joshua is the favourite in this fight. I know that, with the bookies, Fury is.
“But I see the improvements that Anthony makes and the desire that he has got.
“But I’ve written Fury off before – against Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. He proved me wrong.
“But I don’t believe he will prove me wrong this time.
“I believe our guy wins.
“But talk is cheap. We’ve got to roll the dice and find out.”
