Campbell has urged Joshua to pounce whenever he gets the opportunity in the fight and be sure to throw several combinations in a bid to damage his upcoming adversary. “Tyson is big, and he’s long, and he’ll make it awkward. I think the only way that I can see Joshua having success is if he gets his feet in distance, and then he’s got to throw combinations,” the boxing icon revealed to Mirror Fighting.

“He’s got to go, he’s got to go twice or three times every time he throws. He can’t just throw the one shot or the one-two. He’s got to go again and again. I think he’s got to put it on Tyson if he wants any success. But if he if he leans over his front foot like he did in his last fight, he’ll just walk straight on to Tyson’s lead hook.”
