Anthony Joshua has announced he will not fight again until December – just two days after saying he wanted to get back in the ring in the “next three months”.

Joshua got back to winning ways last weekend by outpointing Jermaine Franklin over 12 rounds at the O2 Arena, the first time the Briton had had his hand raised in almost two and a half years.
