Ex-champ urges Joshua to hire Tyson for Fury fight

Former super-middleweight world champion George Groves believes that Anthony Joshua should enlist the help of boxing legend Mike Tyson to devise a game plan against Tyson Fury. The upcoming heavyweight bout between Joshua and Fury is scheduled for December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. Both fighters have recently secured victory in their respective previous matches.

While Fury emerges as the favorite heading into the fight, Groves suggests that Joshua could benefit from adopting a more aggressive, close-range style similar to Tyson’s. Groves noted that even though Joshua is taller than Fury, he has a disadvantage in height against him. Groves supports the idea of Tyson’s expertise, stating, "Getting some advice from a man who carved out a fantastic career always being on the shorter side of things makes perfect sense to me."

However, the former heavyweight champion's support for Fury may make him a challenging recruit. Groves also predicts a likely early knockout for Fury, emphasizing his size and ability to deliver powerful punches.
