Luke Campbell, who won Olympic gold in London in 2012 alongside Anthony Joshua, has offered his long-time acquaintance advice for the Tyson Fury fight. "Tyson is big, and he's long, and he'll make it awkward," Campbell told Mirror Fighting, as reported by The Sun. "He can't just throw the one shot or the one-two."
Joshua needs to get his feet into range and throw combinations of two or three punches, Campbell said. If he leans over his front foot as he did in his last fight, he will open himself up to Fury's lead hook. Campbell and Joshua have known each other since preparing for the 2010 European Championships.
Fury and Joshua meet on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with the ring walk reportedly planned for around 1am on December 12.
