While comparing Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, Tony Bellew said that Deontay Wilder has only one devastating “trick” in his arsenal, while Anthony Joshua is good at almost everything. “Everything that he (Anthony Joshua) does is better. The only attribute that Deontay Wilder has overall these guys is one-punch power,” added Tony Bellew. However, Tony Bellew then claimed that Deontay Wilder’s one-punch power is of no use as he lacks the skill set to accurately land it. Tony Bellew added that Anthony Joshua won almost all his fights “at the speed of light” and it would be hard for Deontay Wilder to defeat him.

Tyson Fury is currently training for his third fight against Deontay Wilder and is scheduled to fight Anthony Joshua next year. While predicting the outcome of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, Tony Bellew claimed that Anthony Joshua would come out on top if he starts dominating from the opening bell. However, if Tyson Fury survives till six rounds, he’ll defeat a gassed out Joshua.

Take that."
