Anthony Joshua makes an interesting prediction ahead of Johnny Fisher’s rematch with Dave Allen.
AJ has sparred Allen previously with the Doncaster heavyweight claiming to have outboxed the Londoner in their encounter.
But the former unified heavyweight champion Joshua has made an interesting prediction on the rematch to DAZN.
He said: “I can’t wait for this one. I rate both of them.
“Dave is more experienced but Johnny has a heap of potential.
“If I had to pick a winner, I’m going with Johnny to show his potential to the world. Let’s go!”
The rematch is now set for Saturday night after their first encounter was marred by controversial scorecards.
Allen knocked down Fisher but lost a split decision to the ‘Romford Bull’, a decision which many pundits blasted.
The ‘White Rhino’ believes he will be even better in this bout and doesn’t think his opponent is “good enough” to beat him.

Also backing Fisher is the former British Heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley.
“I think Fisher on points,” he said.
“I think he’ll learn a lot from the first fight and not get sucked into such a war and just box him.”
Wardley vacated his title to focus on his world title ambitions and huge stadium homecoming.
David Adeleye picked up the belt in controversial fashion when he knocked out Jeamie TKV seconds after the referee had called a break.
Their rematch will take place in the coming months and Frank Smith has already pencilled it in as Fisher’s next move.
Speaking to Boxing News, Smith said: “I think, right now, the winner of (Adeleye-TKV 2) is probably the most sensible fight after this one (Allen fight).
“Fisher’s got to come through Saturday night – it’s going to be a real test – but I believe that he will win.”
Both understand the importance of taking this rematch seriously.
Fisher and Allen have respectively said there is no going to be no friendliness in or out of the ring.
