CARL FROCH did not hold back with his emphatic prediction for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Joshua, 35, is coming off a brutal knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and currently finds himself nursing an elbow injury.

Fury, 36, meanwhile was beaten twice by Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year, retiring in January only one month after his rematch defeat.
But the Gypsy King has fuelled speculation of a comeback with recent training videos and Froch reckons a fight with AJ is easy money for Fury.
He said on his YouTube channel: “I think AJ’s finished. Honestly, I think he’s finished and done. And the only fight potentially for him is the Fury fight.
“Forget rematching Usyk, forget Dubois again, because we know what’s going to happen because we’ve already seen it.
“But the fight with Fury is safe enough because Fury probably would struggle to knock him out with one punch.
“I’m not saying he can’t do that, he probably can, but that’s a fight I’d probably say, you know what if you’re going to come out of retirement – I know Anthony Joshua’s not retired – but if Fury’s going to come out of retirement that makes sense.
“Because for me, it’s a f***ing easy win. I’m not being horrible but Tyson Fury, for me, runs rings around Anthony Joshua.
“AJ’s got no confidence, he got flattened in his last fight and look at the form Anthony Joshua’s been on compared to the form that Tyson Fury’s been on.

“Tyson Fury is naturally talented, very skilful, he’s a technician, you see him against Usyk, yes he lost but he was in the fight from round one to round 12.
“It was quite a close fight, the right man won, Usyk beat him fair and square but if you’re looking at form and looking at the quality and natural ability and the talent and where he is in the mind, Tyson Fury is a massive favourite in my book going into that fight.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed Joshua plans to fight in 2025 – with or without Fury.
Hearn told SunSport: “Next couple of months, if there’s no movement, we fight.
“I mean there’s no way AJ’s not fighting this year. So who that will be? I can’t tell you.
“I mean, that’s the million dollar question at all times, but I think more importantly is, do we get any news from Fury in the next four, six, eight weeks?
“If we do, we’ll fight him this year. If not, we’ll fight and then maybe he comes back next year, who knows?
“But I’d be lying if I said we weren’t desperate to see him return. But, at the same time we can’t just wait around and see what happens.”
