Anthony Joshua claims Roy Keane would be a 'great boxer' due to his no-nonsense persona and believes Manchester United need a character like the Irishman in the dressing room

Anthony Joshua has described Roy Keane as someone who could make a 'good boxer' and believes his character could sort out Manchester United's problems.

The Watford-born boxer won his only fight in 2020 against Kubrat Pulev earlier this month but is preparing for a busy 2021 which could see him take on Tyson Fury in an all-British unification heavyweight clash.

When asked which footballer would be most suited to a life in the ring, Joshua pointed out Keane's no-nonsense persona as a perfect boxing characteristic.
