IBF heavyweight champion Filip Hrgović gives Anthony Joshua little chance against Tyson Fury. "I think he's done. He shouldn't be fighting anymore. But he want to do, of course, one more fight," the Croatian told Ariel Helwani on Wednesday, MiddleEasy reports. Hrgović favours Fury but thinks both men are past their best.

According to MiddleEasy, Hrgović pointed to Joshua's July performance: on July 25 in Jeddah, Joshua was knocked down twice in the first round before stopping Kristian Prenga in the second. Hrgović doubts another change of trainer will help and says Joshua is driven mainly by money. It is the view of a rival; MiddleEasy reports no response from Joshua's camp.

Fury and Joshua meet on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with Netflix broadcasting worldwide.
