Fury vs Joshua tipped to be three-round shootout as George Groves names 'solid favourite'

  • Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to clash on 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in a long-awaited heavyweight showdown between two former two-time world champions.
  • Former world champion George Groves has backed Tyson Fury as the “solid favourite”, predicting that the 38-year-old could knock out Anthony Joshua within the first three rounds.
  • Groves emphasised that Fury's superior size and weight advantage could prove overwhelming for Joshua once Fury lands a clean combination on his chin.
  • Both boxers enter the contest following recent victories, with 37-year-old Joshua climbing off the canvas twice to stop Kristian Prenga in July, while Fury defeated Mariusz Wach in Thailand.
  • The event is expected to draw around 80,000 spectators to the stadium in Wales and will be streamed live globally on Netflix.
