3D simulation of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua ends with brutal KO as Oleksandr Usyk predicts winner of fight
Oleksandr Usyk has predicted the potential winner of any clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, while a 3D simulation of the fight has also outlined who the victor might be.
Usyk defeated Fury for the second time in 2024 as Saudi Arabia played host once again to a boxing bout between the heavyweight duo.
The first meeting between the pair took place in May and on that occasion, Usyk won thanks to a split decision with two judges scoring the fight in his favour and one siding with Fury.
For the rematch over the weekend, however, Usyk won through a unanimous judges' decision to ensure his unbeaten boxing record remains intact and has now stretched to 23 fights.

For Fury, he has now suffered two defeats in his professional boxing career, both of which have come at the hands of Usyk.
The Gypsy King's still impressive record now stands at 34 victories, one draw and two losses from his 37 bouts.
It is unclear what stands next for both fighters following the bout, though Saudi Arabian boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh hopes to see Usyk take on Daniel Dubois and Fury fight Joshua in his country.
He said: "Next I want, if [Daniel] Dubois wins [against Joseph Parker] in February, I want to see Usyk and Dubois again.
"I wanted to see Tyson maybe with Joshua, we will decide. Let’s see what can happen. Everything in Riyadh Season is realistic."
A bout between Fury and Joshua has been mooted for several years, though it has not yet materialised.
Joshua's professional boxing record stands at 28 victories from 32 fights and four defeats, and in his last bout in September suffered a loss at the hands of Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
Usyk is well placed to comment on the potential bout as he has defeated both Fury and Joshua on two occasions, and the Ukrainian has now given his say on who would be the favourite if the pair did indeed clash in the ring.
Asked by Boxing King Media who was the hardest fighter and who would be favourite, Usyk said that though Fury was the more difficult opponent in his view, he believes Joshua would emerge victorious on 'maybe points'.
And now a simulation of the bout on YouTube by the Boxing Fight Simulator channel has shown who the winner would be.
In the first round, Fury drops Joshua to the canvas on two occasions but AJ returns to his feet both times.
The second round shows Joshua rallying and landing more punches, but with Fury responding immediately with a much tighter affair.
But the simulation suggests that Fury would win in just the third round with a sensational knockout.
Fury connects with a hard right hand which floors Joshua, who is unable to get back to his feet to beat the 10 count.
Whether that would happen in reality remains to be seen, but it is a tantalising fight which has been wanted by fans for several years.
