TYSON FURY’S former opponent Martin Rogan has tipped him to beat Anthony Joshua inside six rounds.
Northern Irishman Rogan, who only began boxing aged 29, sparred a 17-year-old Fury, would turn pro a year later, in 2007.
Martin Rogan was beaten by Tyson Fury in 2012 for the Irish title
The Gypsy King, 31, then went on to beat Rogan in 2012 following a well timed body shot.
And the 49-year-old has opened up on his experience of facing Fury and tipped his power to be the deciding factor in a fight against unified champion AJ.
Rogan told Sky Sports: “When Tyson Fury jabs you, you stay hit for at least 30 seconds.
“I think Tyson would stop Anthony Joshua in six rounds, if he leans into his punches.
“If Tyson Fury would take some advice from an old man like me, the amount of power he has is frightening.”
Joshua, the WBA, IBF and WBO is still mandated to face 39-year-old Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in his next fight, while Fury is contracted to a third bout with Deontay Wilder.
Should the pair get through their respected challenges, 30-year-old AJ is eyeing a historic undisputed title clash against WBC king Fury.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Joshua said: “Undoubtedly the fight I want is Tyson Fury — he is holding something that I want, he’s on my hit list.
“You never know what you’re going to get with him.
“He’s either at the top of the world, conquering the world, or at the bottom of the ocean and he needs to find a balance — but at the moment he seems to have found one at home working out with his wife.
“He says things about me all the time, there is so much back and forth, but Tyson Fury is only relevant the day me and him sign a contract to fight.
“The day he and I are going to fight is the only time really that I should be talking about Tyson Fury and I don’t really want to be in that position where I am talking him down.”
