Former world champion Joe Calzaghe – Fury win
Calzaghe told BT Sport: “Tyson Fury has to be the favourite.
“Judging on, ‘You’re only as good as your last fight,’ I think Tyson Fury would be the favourite right now.

Former world champion Amir Khan – Fury win
Khan told Sky Sports: “If I was to pick someone, I do lean a little bit more towards Fury.
“I think Fury is the full complete fighter. He is a good boxer, he can fight, he’s the one who put Wilder down with the power.
“I never used to think he had that much power as a heavyweight and I think he proved it coming forward on the front foot.
“So I do favour him a little bit more.”

Former world champion Tony Bellew – AJ win
Bellew told talkSPORT: “It’s crazy the way the heavyweight division’s working at the minute because I think there’s a couple of guys who do have a chance against Tyson Fury.
“I think AJ does beat Tyson Fury, but he’s got six rounds to do it. If it goes past six rounds, I don’t think he beats Tyson Fury.
“To beat Tyson Fury you’ve got to be willing to jump on him and not care what’s coming back.
“And I believe the only heavyweight in the world with the skillset, the speed and the accuracy who can do it is AJ.”
Former heavyweight champion David Haye – Fury points or AJ stoppage
Haye told BT Sport: “I don’t see AJ winning on points.
“It’ll be Fury outboxing him and AJ not getting to grips with him.
“If there’s a stoppage – AJ. If it’s points – Fury.”

Former world champion Johnny Nelson – AJ win
Nelson told talkSPORT: “I’ve gone public in saying I think Anthony Joshua is the all round better fighter.
“I think Tyson Fury is better tactically and the more technically equipped, but AJ is the all-rounder.
“He can fight, he can box, he’s an athlete. Tyson Fury is a boxer.
“I think both men are now at a stage where they’ve done so much and learned so much in their careers that they’re so neck and neck.
“But, I’d go with Anthony Joshua because he’s shown me a lot more variety in his arsenal.”
