Tyson Fury warned Anthony Joshua can "bang" ahead of heavyweight fight

Joe Joyce has warned Tyson Fury that Anthony Joshua can "bang" as the pair close in on a heavyweight title fight this December.

Fury revealed he was willing to halt his retirement plans to return to the ring and challenge Oleksandr Usyk in a bid to become undisputed champion. However that fight will be delayed with the Ukrainian taking time away from the sport, so Fury has elected to hand long-term rival Joshua a mega-fight for his WBC title this December.

Joshua has accepted the offer and it appears a fight is set to take place on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff once contracts are signed. The 'Gypsy King' will go into the clash as a huge favourite with his potential opponent coming into the clash on the back of two consecutive defeats by Usyk.
