Tyson Fury camp denies injury rumors ahead of Joshua showdown.

Tyson Fury’s camp has denied claims that the heavyweight champion is injured ahead of his December 11 fight against Anthony Joshua in Cardiff.

The denial was issued to Sky Sports News after former British heavyweight boxer Frank Bruno suggested on a podcast that Fury may be hurt.

Fury and Joshua are finally set to meet at Principality Stadium after years of failed negotiations and false starts.

The fight will be for the WBA (Super) heavyweight title and is scheduled to begin at around 1 a.m. on Saturday, December 12.

The stadium will remain open until 3:30 a.m. to accommodate the late finish.

Bruno made his claim on the Fight Your Corner podcast.

“I looked at him the other day and I think someone was talking to me in the gym that he’s got some injury, which may stop him from going into the fight with Anthony Joshua,” Bruno said.

“And having that on your head ain’t nice.”

Bruno did not specify what injury he believes Fury has or how severe it might be.

Fury’s camp responded by telling Sky Sports News that the claim is false and the fight will go ahead as scheduled.

No further details were provided by either side.

Fury, 38, has a professional record of 36 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, with 25 knockouts.

He came out of his second retirement earlier this year to stop Mariusz Wach in Thailand last July.

Joshua, 37, holds a record of 30 wins and 4 losses, with 27 knockouts.

He has won his last two fights — a sixth-round stoppage of Jake Paul and a comeback win over Kristian Prenga after being knocked down.

Derek Chisora, a longtime friend of Joshua who lost three times to Fury, told talkSPORT that he speaks with Joshua every Friday during training camp.

“I send him a message asking him how it was, and he said ‘yeah I’m killing it,’” Chisora said.

“So that is all I need to know, he’s killing it. Whatever happens it is going to be an exciting fight on December 11.”

Chisora believes Joshua’s power gives him a path to victory.

“AJ has to knock him out in the first six rounds,” Chisora said.

“After that it is a long night, but AJ has the power to knock out Tyson any round. But has Tyson got that same power? No.”

Chisora added that Fury has superior endurance and will try to set a higher pace over 12 rounds.

Fury spoke to WSVN Miami from his training camp last week and said he plans to continue boxing after the Joshua fight.

“I’m going to continue. I’ve got two fights left on my contract. I’ll finish the contract off and then probably sign another 10-fight deal. Who knows?” Fury said.

“If the money’s right sign another 10 fights, but they’ve got to be quick because I’m getting older. And when it’s gone it’s gone. I’m coming up to fight No. 40.”
