He told Sky Sports: “I think it’s AJ. I respect both of these guys, but I predict Anthony.
“It’s good. IBF did not take my belt, I gave my belt to Anthony Joshua and Dubois.
“Because for me, it’s important that my sport of boxing develops.”
After back-to back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is now on a run of four wins as the two-time former unified world heavyweight champion looks to continue his revival.
