While being credited for his speed and power, Anthony Joshua has been accused of lacking any real punch resistance ahead of his expected clash with Tyson Fury. Given everything that transpired in the opening round, though, many have observed that the 36-year-old’s punch resistance is almost shot to pieces. “His punch resistance has gone. “When you can’t take a punch, you’ve only got to get clipped on your way in – as we saw against Prenga – and it’s fight over.” While perhaps lacking the necessary punch resistance to win a long, gruelling affair, Joshua’s speed and power should nonetheless make him a dangerous opponent for Fury in the early rounds.
