Boxing legend Mike Tyson is among many who are excited to see the clash happen after months of discussions and years of back-and-forth. Earlier, while talking to Haute Living, Mike Tyson picked Fury to come out victorious against Joshua. “I f****** love Joshua, but I think Tyson is too elusive. He's not going to be able to hit him. I like Joshua a lot, and maybe he punches harder than Wilder, but he doesn't punch faster than Wilder,” Tyson said.
