  "account": "British-Nigerian heavyweight Anthony Joshua has declared that his upcoming fight against Tyson Fury will involve more than just raw power. The two rivals, who have a decade-long feud, will clash on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Joshua secured the fight in July after recovering from two knockdowns to defeat Kristian Prenga in the second round.\n\nSpeaking on the Mr Verzace Podcast, Joshua described the two fighters as \"polar opposites.\" Fury is not built like a bodybuilder and does not possess one-punch power, according to Joshua. The two fighters are said to be polar opposites, with Joshua's strength coming from his skill, fitness, patience, and strategic punching.\n\nJoshua emphasized that he relies on various aspects of his boxing, including his legs, hands, distance, anticipation, and punch selection. He stated that he believes he cannot solely depend on powerful punches to defeat Fury, as Fury is better than that. Instead, Joshua plans to bring a comprehensive approach to the fight, breaking down his opponent with a series of punches and chip away at his strength.\n\nThe finish of the fight could happen at any point, but Joshua's main priority is to remain fit and conditioned for the full 12 rounds. He acknowledged that the victory could come in the first or last minute of the fight, but his focus is on being prepared for the entire duration.",
