'Always!' - Joshua handed further Hearn support as Fury waits in the wings
Zayas vs. Ennis: Watch only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Anthony Joshua "always" beats Tyson Fury, with Eddie Hearn stating he has "never been more confident" in the former.
The pair will face off later this year in an all-British heavyweight contest for the ages, after years of back-and-forth barbs.
The boxing public has frequently been split on which man, both a two-time world champion, would have a nominal edge.
But for Matchroom supremo Hearn, Joshua has always been his number-one pick, backing his man to deliver the goods.

"Fury's a tremendous fighter, very clever," he explained to Sky Sports News. "I've just always felt that 'AJ' beats Tyson Fury.
"Now, with his training camp with Oleksandr Usyk and the way he just seems and how focused he is, I just think that [he wins].
"I've never been more confident that he wins. But it's not going to be easy because Fury's a great competitor and a great fighter."
Joshua has worked with former rival Usyk in recent months, ahead of a tune-up encounter with Kristian Prenga set for July 25.
