‘It's a f***ing easy win' – Carl Froch makes emphatic prediction for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight
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."
AJ to have surgery this week as Hearn reveals 'encouraging' Fury 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."

The Englishman dedicated the win to his sister, Lily-Rae Simpson, who died aged 19 in a car accident in Greece last year."Not once did I give up, in those last few rounds I'll be honest I started thinking about my little sister Lily," Simpson said."I'll be honest, I just thought I had to push for her and for everybody. This time last year, Lily was sat up here cheering me on and she was there with me tonight when it got tough, when it got hard."From round eight, I thought, 'I've got to dig deep, I've got to keep pushing, I've got to do it for her'. She was with me tonight."With the win, Simpson puts himself in prime contention for a step up to world level by the end of the the raucous Oakwell crowd feared the worse with only eight seconds on the clock in in the opening round when Zucco downed Simpson with a hard left shook off the early knockdown and buzzed Zucco with some fine punching of his own, but the home favourite was caught too square in the third round, dropped for the second time by a left on by 23,000 inside the football ground, Simpson was not to be deterred and he continued to advance - taking a number of risks along the sensed an opening in the 10th round as he stalked Zucco before launching a stunning left uppercut on the chin of his opponent - who then sank to his knees before beating the was subjected to another punishing uppercut and slumped to his knees but he bravely rose on the count of eight, until a third knockdown meant the Italian's corner pulled their man out of the fight.

Aussie heavyweight Justis Huni suffers shock one-punch KO in interim WBA world title showdown
Australian heavyweight Justis Huni's valiant bid for the WBA Interim world title has been ended by devastating 10th-round knockout to rising English star Fabio Wardley. The 26-year-old from Brisbane had stepped in at short notice to replace injured American fighter Jarrell Miller and for nine rounds looked in complete control in front of a raucous crowd at Portman Road, the home of Wardley's beloved English soccer team Ipswich Town. Boasting a glittering amateur career, including a World Championships bronze, Huni looked keen to display his credentials on the big stage. He demonstrated his firepower from the off, causing Wardley real problems with powerful combinations, mercilessly targeting the body as he racked up round after round on the judges' scorecards. Huni insisted he hadn't flown over 10,000 miles not to try to cause an upset and his stinging right hand, lively footwork and impressive hand speed continued to cause problems as the tiring Briton battled to contain his opponent going into the tenth. But it was then that Wardley somehow pulled out a stunning right-hand from absolutely nowhere, forcing an astonishing KO and sending his relieved fans into wild celebrations. WHAT JUST HAPPENED‼️ FABIO WARDLEY KNOCKS JUSTIS HUNI OUT!! 😱🤯 #WardleyHuni | Live Now on DAZN — DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) June 7, 2025 The Aussie looked in complete control of the bout until he was floored in the 10th round 'That's my curse. I even said before this fight it only takes one second to switch off, it happened tonight,' Hunis told DAZN. 'I'm grateful to Fabio and his team and to Ipswich to be able to perform in front of you. Get behind him, he's going to do great things. 'He's just an awesome fighter. He never gave up and he got the win, he deserves it. Thank you Ipswich for the opportunity to perform here, I'm grateful.' Wardley, whose win will boost his WBA ranking with the sanctioning body, was keen to praise the previously unbeaten Aussie for his performance. 'I don't profess to being any Usyk or Justis Huni who has all the skills, but I know how to win fights and that's one thing I knew I had to do tonight,' Wardley said in the ring. 'Justis Huni is a great operator. We'd drilled everything over and over again. I should've performed better in some of those rounds. 'He's a great boxer, some great skills and he showed me everything he had tonight. I didn't expect to bank rounds like that with Justis. I hurt him a bit in the first round and maybe I had too much confidence early on.'
