Sky Sports has answered reader questions ahead of Tyson Fury's showdown with Anthony Joshua at the Principality Stadium. Both fighters have faced Oleksandr Usyk twice and lost both times. Joshua was weaker in their first fight but improved in the rematch, while Fury looked strong early in his first bout with Usyk. Against their shared opponents, Fury appears to edge ahead, though the answer is far from clear.
Both men have also faced Wladimir Klitschko, with Joshua meeting an older version of the Ukrainian. Klitschko gave Joshua a tougher fight, while Fury controlled his bout and won a decision in Germany. Against their highest-level shared opponents, Fury seems slightly ahead, though the comparison is hard to settle. Francis Ngannou gave Fury more trouble than he gave Joshua, who levelled the former UFC champion.
Looking ahead, Fury is expected to pursue a trilogy with Usyk, though the market for another fight is uncertain. Daniel Dubois could be an easier and more attractive opponent for the winner. Neither Fury nor Joshua has beaten Usyk, so a third fight is probably not needed.
The WBA has sanctioned a 'super' title for the bout, though it has not explained why. Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, is funding and promoting the event in partnership with Dana White, raising questions about how White's involvement fits with the existing contracts of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren.
