Derek Chisora has weighed in on a potential fight between Tyson Fury and his close pal Anthony Joshua, revealing that he backs ‘AJ’ to get the job done thanks to the inside knowledge of a key member of his camp. As a man who has fought ‘The Gypsy King’ on three occasions, ‘Del Boy’ knows just what the lineal heavyweight champion brings to the table, but still believes Joshua can come out on top.
Chisora spoke to Crypto Casino Limited about the long-awaited showdown, stating that the Watford-born fighter would have ‘too much’ power for Fury.

Former world title challenger explained how ‘AJ’ can win fight
Since joining forces with Fury’s former trainer Ben Davison late last year in preparation for his win over Otto Wallin, Joshua has demolished former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou. Chisora also believes that Joshua would beat Oleksandr Usyk if they ever fought again, despite having lost back-to-back fights to the Ukranian in 2021 and 2022.
“AJ would wipe the floor with Usyk under Ben Davison, I don’t think it would go six rounds,” insisted the 40-year-old. “That said, with current records and past performances, right now the best heavyweight in the world is Usyk, gold medalist and undisputed cruiserweight champion.
“He came up at heavyweight and has taken over, and in one more fight he can prove he is the pound-for-pound the best fighter and make history for Ukraine.”
