Tyson Fury

- Power: underrated, with 25 knockouts, but not a one-punch finisher like Joshua.
- Chin: rose from knockdowns against Wilder and Ngannou, which shows resilience.
- Stamina: strong over 12 rounds, though a layoff and age are watch-points.
Anthony Joshua
- Jab: sharp when he uses it, but he can fall into exchanges.
- Power: elite. 90% of his wins end by knockout.
- Chin: dropped by Ruiz, Dubois and Prenga, so early flurries are a risk.
- Stamina: good, but his best work often comes before round eight.
