Former super-middleweight world champion George Groves has urged Anthony Joshua to seek advice from boxing legend Mike Tyson ahead of his December 11 heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury in Cardiff.

Groves believes Joshua could benefit from adopting Tyson’s aggressive, close-range style, using quick movements, body dips and powerful hooks and uppercuts to trouble Fury.

He also considers Fury the favourite to win the highly anticipated contest.

However, Mike Tyson has publicly backed Fury, saying the heavyweight was named after him.

Groves predicts Fury could stop Joshua within the first three rounds, citing the British fighter’s size and punching ability.
