Heavyweight legend Lennox Lewis gives Tyson Fury the mental edge over Anthony Joshua ahead of their all-British showdown in December.

Fury's rivalry with Joshua dates back almost a decade and the heavyweight stars will now fight on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

"I think it's very important for British history and for the British fans as well," Lewis, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, told Sky Sports.

"This is a unique fight, It's a great fight and it's a fight that everybody's been waiting for."

The boxing legend however was not so forthcoming in calling the result.

"Styles make fights," Lewis said. "And I think this fight is going to make for a good fight because both of them have two different styles.

"I think the fight may go the distance but both of them have knockout power. Anything can happen.
