  "account": "Tyson Fury has stated that Anthony Joshua serves as a \"stepping stone\" towards a potential rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. This comes ahead of their highly anticipated fight in Cardiff on December 11. Fury predicted that he will stop Joshua inside seven rounds at Principality Stadium, stating, \"I'm just going to knock him out, one hundred per cent.\" He added, \"I'm going to box the head off him and stop him inside six or seven rounds.\" Fury made this assertion following his confirmed victory over Joshua, who had previously defeated him twice in 2024. Fury's primary goal remains securing another opportunity against Usyk. He also criticized Joshua's physical condition, questioning his speed and stamina. \"Joshua, for me, is an old bum. A weightlifter. Too many weights, not enough speed. Too many weights, no cardio,\" Fury said, predicting that he will dominate Joshua in the upcoming bout.",
