TYSON FURY will wipe the floor with Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight title unification bout, according to the WBC king’s little brother Tommy.
Negotiations over the long-awaited Battle of Britain resumed after Joshua’s ninth-round KO win over Kubrat Pulev in December and both parties are confident an agreement will soon be reached.

And former Love Island star Tommy reckons the fight will be the ‘easiest’ of his brother’s professional career.
He told The Daily Mail: ‘It’s definitely going to be a good fight but I’ve always said, from day one, it will be his easiest fight and I have no doubt about that.
“Joshua is tailor-made for Tyson, what a great build-up it’s going to be and what a great fight.”
Fury claimed the WBC title last February with a scintillating seventh round TKO of then-champion Deontay Wilder.

But Tommy reckons Wilder – who has sought mediation to land a trilogy fight – is a far tougher opponent than AJ.
When asked if he thinks a fight with Joshua will be easier for The Gypsy King than his two encounters with Wilder, he added: “Yes, by a mile.
“Wilder would have knocked out Joshua within two or three rounds.
“I know it’s heavyweight boxing and you can never say never, but there is nothing in that fight against Joshua that worries me for Tyson, especially like the Tyson I’ve seen now.
“He can walk through walls, he’s invincible and it’s going to take some man to beat him and I haven’t seen him being born yet. To beat Tyson, you’re going to have to kill him.
“The only way you’re beating him is if you knock him out cold and he’s already been hit by the biggest puncher that’s ever lived.
“So how’s Joshua going to do it? He isn’t, so I think it’s going to be a very easy night for him.”
Tyson shares his brother’s confidence about the fight, telling Sky Sports: “I don’t think he is as good as people talk him up to be.
“And I don’t believe he believes it himself, I think he has a confidence issue after two shaky performances and boxing is all about form.
“On his last two fights he is not in form and, on my last two, I am.
“Momentum is with me and, because of that, I believe I take him out early, very early, maybe inside one or two rounds.”
