Peter Fury: Klitschko fight 'too soon' for Joshua

Tyson Fury's uncle and trainer, Peter Fury says Anthony Joshua lacks the skill and experience on a world level to beat former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

In an interview for 5 live Breakfast, Fury told Chris Warburton: “I think it’s too soon for Joshua. I think his boxing skills [leave a lot] to be desired.”

Peter Fury masterminded his nephew Tyson's win over Klitschko in November 2015 - the Ukranian's first defeat in eleven years.

Fury added: “It’s all about styles, but ultimately if you’ve got a leaky defence in the heavyweight division I don’t care if you’ve got dynamite in both hands you’re coming unstuck sooner or later.”

Anthony Joshua will defend his IBF heavyweight title against his Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium this Saturday.
