Anthony Joshua is the most destructive puncher since Mike Tyson and his speed and power will surprise Wladimir Klitschko, says Tony Bellew.
Wladimir is going to get a big shock at the speed of Joshua. He's the fastest combination punching heavyweight since Mike Tyson, without a shadow of a doubt. There has not been a heavyweight since Tyson, who throws punches in numbers like Anthony Joshua.
We haven't seen a fighter like that since Mike Tyson. He is stone-cold in boxing terms. If you had a fighter, you wouldn't want him anywhere near him.
I'm not saying he is the new Mike Tyson, but what I'm saying is - it's the way he throws punches and the way he puts combinations together. The last time that was seen, was Mike Tyson. He will get in front of any heavyweight and throw four, five or six punches and not care about what is coming back.
We haven't seen a fighter like that since Mike Tyson. He is stone-cold in boxing terms. If you had a fighter, you wouldn't want him anywhere near him, simple as that. He's brutal and is very, very good at what he does. He's quality from start to finish, but he hasn't got that long, big fight experience that Klitschko has got. Believe me, if it goes past four rounds, that will show.
I believe there is only one heavyweight in the world fast enough to hit me, without me seeing it coming, and hurt me. I believe that is Anthony Joshua. Barring him, I can see every heavyweight's punches coming.
I have just fought the second fastest heavyweight in the world, probably the fastest single punching heavyweight in the world. But you can see one shot coming. You have to twitch or load.
With someone like Anthony Joshua, he can throw four or five and you might see the first one coming, but you will not see the next three. That is the dangerous thing - and that is what is going to catch Wlad out.
Anthony Joshua cannot underestimate Wladimir's feet and Wladimir cannot underestimate Anthony Joshua's speed. It's going to be a speed versus distance kind of fight. If Klitschko can dictate the distance and the range, he wins. If he can't keep Anthony Joshua off him, it's over inside three or four rounds.
If someone gave me £1,000, I would stick £800 on a Joshua knockout win inside the first four rounds and would put the other £200 on a Wladimir knockout victory after four rounds.
