Joe Joyce expects Tyson Fury to defeat Anthony Joshua later this year - but has refused to write off the title challenger.
Fury looked set to face Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed title clash after the Ukrainian defeated his long-term rival Joshua for a second time last month. However after it became clear a fight with Usyk would be delayed until next year, the 'Gypsy King' offered 'AJ' the chance to challenge for the WBC title in December.
Providing the final details of the deal are ironed out, Fury will defend his title against Joshua on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. And Joyce, who has sparred with both fighters, believes the challenger has a chance in the fight despite being a significant underdog.
