Anthony Joshua believes Tyson Fury will attack Wladimir Klitschko from the opening bell in their world heavyweight title clash – but that the champion will hold on to his titles.

Klitschko defends THE RING, IBF, WBA and WBO belts against the unbeaten Manchester man on Saturday night in Dusseldorf, with Fury gunning to dethrone the Ukrainian, who will be competing in his 28^th world title bout.

Joshua has his own big night on Dec. 12 when he headlines at The O2 in London against bitter rival Dillian Whyte for the British and Commonwealth titles – but the Olympic gold medal hero will be glued to the action from Germany this weekend, and expects a great fight between Klitschko and Fury.

“It will be a great fight and it’s brilliant for boxing both in Britain and on the world stage,” said Joshua. “Tyson and Wladimir are two very different personalities which makes it even more interesting for the casual fan. The result is difficult to call, both have knockouts on their record and anything can happen in heavyweight boxing.

“The fight will be action packed right from round one. I think Fury will come out with nothing to lose, his style is to throw a lot of punches but ultimately I think Klitschko’s class will shine through and he will win.”
