Tyson Fury's former sparring partner Christopher Lovejoy has backed Anthony Joshua to win if the pair can agree to fight this year.
The former world champion has today announced via his management team that he will accept Fury's terms for a fight on December 3. And Lovejoy, a heavyweight with a fascinating background in the sport who has shared the ring with some of the best in sparring and nobody of note in his 20-1 professional career, believes the Watford fighter will become a three-time champion.
Joshua is coming off two unified heavyweight title losses at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk, once in a mandatory defence and again in a rematch for the belts that he had lost. Now, he faces an unexpected immediate shot at the one belt he has never held; the WBC title which Fury has held for the past two-and-a-half years.
