Tyson Fury believes the fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois tonight is too tough to call as the duo prepare to meet at Wembley Stadium.
Joshua is looking to become a three-time world champion, having beaten Jermaine Franklin Jr, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius and Francis Ngannou in recent times.
But Dubois is aiming to dethrone his fellow Briton, with the 27-year-old also currently a man on the up.
Fury, speaking to The Stomping Ground, has now opened up ahead of the clash.

The Gypsy King believes the fight is too close to call – and has consequently refused to make an official prediction.
“It’s heavyweight boxing, anybody can beat anybody, as we’ve seen in the past,” he said.
“Who is gonna win? I don’t know. I don’t know anything about boxing, obviously. Every time I say a prediction I get it wrong anyway.
“I predict it will be a good fight. It looks like someone might get knocked out.

“They are both big old punchers, ain’t they?
“You wouldn’t want to get punched in the face or in the b******s by any of them.”
Fury is currently preparing for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, which will take place in December.
The 36-year-old has been quiet ever since losing to the Ukrainian in their bout back in May.
Usyk, unlike Fury, admitted that he was predicting Joshua to reign supreme when he faces Dubois at Wembley.
But he also insisted he would treat the younger Briton with ‘respect’, having overcome both fighters in the past.
“My favourite is Anthony Joshua but I am very bad at predictions,” stated the 37-year-old.
“But I will predict Anthony Joshua.”

In another interview with Boxing News, he said: “I treat Daniel Dubois with respect.
“I wish him good luck and let him become the champion someday – that he trains well.
“There is no way to compare [Dubois and Joshua] because they are completely different fighters. Different skills; different styles. Totally different boxers.
“To be fair, I don’t think [Dubois can reach Joshua’s level].
