Fury will fail, says Joshua

ANTHONY JOSHUA expects Hughie Fury to fail in his WBO world title bid against Joseph Parker.

The WBO belt was vacated by Tyson Fury last October amid his battles with depression and cocaine.

His cousin will fight Kiwi Parker in an effort to return it to the family next Saturday.

A Fury win would pave the way for a lucrative clash with Joshua, but the WBA and IBF king is backing Parker.

Joshua, who faces Kubrat Pulev on October 28, said: ‘Hughie can outbox him but I’m not sure how long for. Maybe Parker will win a lateround stoppage.
