Anthony Joshua has made a bold prediction about who will win the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
On May 18, the two heavyweight champions will enter the ring in Saudi Arabia to settle the score.
They were previously supposed to face each other before the fight was rescheduled due to a cut Fury suffered in his training camp.
Fury is set to defend his WBC title, while Usyk will put his WBA, WBO and IBF titles on the line.
Speaking before the fight, Joshua made his prediction on who will win the fight.

Fury will be eager to show the world how good he is after a poor performance against Francis Ngannou.
“I’ve fought Usyk, so I can only speak from what I’ve experienced with him: he’s a phenomenal fighter, I’d say he’s going to do a really good job,” he said. TalkSport.
“I’ve never fought Fury, so I can’t speak to what it’s like to fight him. Just speaking from what I know, I have to say Usyk will come out victorious.”
Joshua lost to Usyk twice on points and was heavily criticized for his performance in the first fight.
The winner could end up facing former champion Joshua, who has also revealed his short list for upcoming fights.
It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious, but with less than a month until fight night, AJ has given his prediction.
Joshua impressed in his last fight, stopping Francis Ngannou, who Fury previously struggled against.
Having seen his fellow Brit make the job of Ngannou much easier than he did, Fury will want to make amends next month, but he has his work cut out for him against the unbeaten Usyk.
Usyk has wins over Joshua (twice), Daniel Dubois, Derek Chisora and Tony Bellew in his career, and hopes to beat a fifth British opponent to cement his place as the best heavyweight on the planet.
