Anthony Joshua 's coach thinks a heavyweight title fight against Tyson Fury on December 3 is too soon for his fighter.
Almost a month has passed since Joshua lost out to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time when he was outpointed by the unified champion in Saudi Arabia. 'AJ' was looking to avenge his defeat against Usyk having been outpointed by the Ukrainian last Setpember, but came up short for the second time.
Fury and Joshua are on the the verge of agreeing to a long-awaited fight on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, which is the only suitable UK venue for the fight given its retractable roof. Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn says Joshua has accepted all the terms offered in a non-negotiable deal from Fury's team, and they are now just awaiting a contract.
