Boxing is a sport that is full of prophecies. Fighters are constantly making claims about how they are going to find success against their opponents. From selecting which hand they will throw the decisive punch with, to announcing the round the fight will finish, boxers have made lofty claims for decades.

So when Deontay Wilder was stopped in the seventh round and Tyson Fury was awarded a TKO win, fans became curious if even "The Gypsy King" himself could have predicted this outcome. Well he did, over seven years ago.

Tyson Fury's story is one of despair, recovery and redemption. Wilder's run of dominance was well-documented, and Fury was possibly the last person anyone thought was capable of beating him before their first encounter in 2018. It just shows the belief Fury has always had in himself as a boxer.

This is just one of many predictions that Fury would have no chance. Tyson Fury is making a believer out of all of us, and Anthony Joshua should be worried about the status of his belts should they agree to fight.
