JOHN FURY is backing Anthony Joshua to knock out Dillian Whyte again.
AJ stopped Whyte in seven rounds in 2015, which came six years after losing in their original amateur bout.
But on August 12 they look to settle their score at the O2 Arena, in what is a must-win for both.
And John believes it will be a repeat result for Joshua, despite his son Tyson’s rivalry with AJ.
He told Boxing Social via Free Bets Ireland: “I do believe that he is on the slide, Dillian Whyte. I see AJ doing him in sensational style, I see AJ chinning him.
“Dillian Whyte has been a great ambassador for the job, great heavyweight, but he is at the end of his career, he’s had too many good hidings and he doesn’t like left hooks, does he?

“Or uppercuts. I see Joshua [winning], he’s that bit fresher.”
John and Joshua have a shock admiration for each other, which Fury, 34, called his dad out on last year.
He told iFL TV: “He keeps blowing my dad off like, ‘Oh, I think John Fury’s a legend, he’s a top bloke.’
“Whatever you’ve got going on with him, I don’t like it… sever ties with the old p****. Man’s a p****, s***house.

“All of a sudden he’s my dad’s best friend, ‘Oh, I want to go out for a drink with John Fury,’ he said.
“I was like what the f***! Why doesn’t he want to go for a drink with me? Because I would punch him in the mouth.”
The hilarious rant came after AJ claimed John would not let Tyson retire without the pair finally fighting.
Joshua said: “I don’t think his dad will let him not fight me. His dad’s a proper guy. I like his dad.”
