Tyson Fury has given his prediction for the blockbuster fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois on Saturday night.

The two British boxers will fight for the IBF heavyweight title as part of the Riyadh Season at Wembley Stadium in front of a record crowd of 96,000 fans.

A win could give Joshua a shot at the undisputed heavyweight crown and set up a potential blockbuster fight against the winner of the highly anticipated Usyk-Fury rematch in December.

The Gypsy King will be present at the fight in Wembley and gave his prediction for the fight in an interview with Sky Sports.

Fury said: “I think it's a great fight and I think one of them will be knocked out. And we'll find out in about four hours.”

The former WBC heavyweight champion, who lost a split decision to Usyk in May, was also asked about his preparations for the fight later this year.

“I haven't started training yet,” he admitted. “I train every day, for my own body, but I haven't started training camp yet. I won't start training camp for about six weeks, and it's thirteen weeks from today.”

Similar to Fury, his rival Usyk was asked earlier this week for his prediction for the Joshua-Dubois fight, and unlike the Gypsy King, he gave a clear answer.

Usyk stressed that he was confident that Joshua could defeat Dubois, citing the significant difference in their experience and skills.

He said: “Of course Anthony Joshua beats Daniel Dubois. I'm bad at predicting, but I know that. Look, it's Olympic champion versus UK champion. Anthony is on a different level to Daniel Dubois.”

Before the fight night, Mail Sport spoke exclusively with Joshua, who stressed that he had not discussed a possible rematch against Ussyk because he welcomed it before his fight against Dubois.

When asked about a rematch with Usyk, Joshua told Mail Sport: “I'm not really thinking about that at the moment.”

“Daniel Dubois is a big challenge. I'm not thinking about Usyk, but am 100 percent focused on the task ahead. This time there weren't many distractions and I can concentrate fully on Daniel Dubois. It's a blessing.”

“The most important measure of success is getting through a training camp. That's tough in and of itself. Getting through it without injury and healthy because you do a lot of combat training, and that's tough.”

“Getting through training camp is a blessing. Success is getting a good night's sleep. That's underrated. Honestly, those are the two things I think about and they're the two things I'm happy to get when I get them.”
