Anthony Joshua has backed bitter heavyweight rival Tyson Fury to beat Deontay Wilder in their fight next month. Wilder and the Gypsy King are going to meet for a third time after a judged ruled on the legitimacy at the American's right to a rematch following his brutal defeat in Las Vegas back in February 2020. Joshua is currently training with Team GB's boxing hopefuls in their camp before they jet off for this summer's Tokyo 2020 Olympics. During an interview with talkSPORT on Thursday, Joshua was asked who he was backing to win between his heavyweight rivals. After briefly hesitating, Joshua said: "I don't mind, I don't mind. But Fury won the last one so I'll go with Fury because you're only as good as your last performance. But good luck to them both." Earlier this week, Joshua produced a withering assessment of Wilder by claiming the 'Bronze Bomber' is 'not an elite level fighter'. Joshua told Sky Sports: "I'm an elite level fighter, not one of the tomato cans he's knocked out. He better watch what he's saying because when the day comes for me and him, I know what I'm capable of doing. He ain't an elite level fighter."
