Body language expert Inbaal Honigman points to several Tyson
\nFury behaviors during his first Anthony Joshua faceoff<\/h2>\n

According to Honigman, both Fury and Joshua initially appeared
\nconfident while posing side by side. However, she interpreted
\nchanges in Fury\u2019s behavior during the faceoff as possible signs of
\nnervousness or insecurity. Honigman pointed to Fury standing on the
\ntips of his toes, flexing his fingers and chewing while speaking as
\nexamples.<\/p>\n

By comparison, Honigman characterized Joshua as calm and composed.
\nBased on those observations, she believes Joshua is mentally better
\nprepared for the fight and has a better chance of winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they pose side by side, both men appear confident, standing
\nin a solid stance, legs strong, shoulders square, feet
\nshoulder-width apart — this ‘planted’ stance indicates a
\nself-assured attitude,\u201d Honigman said. \u201cBut Fury then engages in
\nsome childlike behavior, standing on the tips of his toes and being
\nplayful, which shows that he’s a little less secure than Joshua.
\nFury’s fingers flex a bit, which is a sign of nerves — unlike
\nJoshua, who is in complete control over his physical body, which is
\na sign that he’s mentally on top, too. Fury is seen to be chewing
\nwhile he talks — perhaps a bit of gum, perhaps just a nervous,
\ntense jaw. While Joshua’s smile remains calm and unmoving. Fury’s
\neyes dart from side to side when he talks about AJ, showing that
\nhe’s nervous. AJ’s peaceful facial expression is a sign that he is
\nnot afraid at all. Joshua’s serenity means that he’s better
\nprepared for the match than Fury is and has a better chance of
\nwinning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury (36-2) defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov in April to rebound from
\nback-to-back losses against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. \u201cThe Gypsy
\nKing\u201d also won his tune-up fight against Mariusz Wach in July.
\nMeanwhile, Joshua (30-4) knocked out Jake Paul<\/a>
\nlast year to rebound from a knockout loss against Daniel
\nDubois<\/a>. Joshua survived two early knockdowns in his tune-up
\nfight against Kristian Prenga before scoring a second-round
\nknockout in July.<\/p>\n
