George Groves has backed Tyson Fury “to knock out” Anthony Joshua, feeling the Fury camp will be “more confident” following the pair’s warm-up bouts.The Gypsy King comfortably beat 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in the seventh round, winning by TKO, while Joshua had a very different story.Joshua won with a dramatic second-round knockout against Kristian Prenga after surviving two first-round knockdowns.Groves, speaking exclusively to GB News with BetSelect, believes that Fury will come on top in their bout, which is scheduled for later this year.He said: “I thought Joshua would be sharp enough, and he definitely punches hard enough to land on Fury and maybe hurt and put a dent in him and finish him. But I think his punch resistance is completely gone. Sorry, Joshua.”So, if Fury lands on Joshua, the likelihood is that Joshua will get knocked out. Fury is a lot harder to hit than Joshua is.”You have to sort of pick big Fury, but you know, I have swapped both ways with this.”Groves explained to the People’s Channel how he thought Joshua’s lifestyle would benefit him, particularly after seeing the shape he was in following his victory over Jake Paul.George Groves has backed Tyson Fury ‘to knock out’ Anthony Joshua | GETTYThe former super-middleweight champion said: “Even more recently, I thought Joshua’s probably in better shape.

But he can’t train properly unless there is something there for him, and he’s probably got advisors around him saying we can nick a few quid here, we can get some money for this.”He’s got his Netflix show, so they want to do something interesting for that. All they’ve really done is book Wach to come out instead of sparring him – they’ve stuck to the rules, and they’ve sold a couple of tickets and done it like a real fight.”You get stopped to think in the eighth round, but to be honest, I don’t think we were about to see the biggest fight in boxing history.”Fury won by TKO in the eighth round of his bout | GETTYThere has been much speculation as to where and when the all-British fight will be held.November looks the most likely month for the bout, with no venue being confirmed so far.Turki Alalshikh, who is promoting the fight, wants the fight to suit a global audience and will speak with authorities in London about the start time.Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said the preferred venue for the fight looks set to be the US.
