BOXING has taken its fair share of punishment this year – but the sport is set to finish 2020 with a bang as a slew of huge fights are yet to come.
Anthony Joshua takes on Kubrat Pulev in December, defending his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world titles, while Mike Tyson is making a comeback to the ring against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr.
And if that wasn’t enough, arguably the biggest star in the sport Canelo Alvarez is in action just days before Christmas.
