Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua responds to Tyson Fury's offer on social media of meeting in the ring before end of year.

I got the date and venue who will rule Britannia?" Let me know if you're interested, if not I will select another opponent." Joshua said: "Yea calm.

Fury proposed the fight to Joshua who told his British rival that he will be ready for a world title showdown in December.

The message is quite clear from AJ, we don’t want to get involved in a backwards and forwards, we want the fight, it’s the fight he’s wanted for a long time. But, I know having spoken to AJ, if that fight is there and they’re serious, which I have my doubts about, but for the good of trying to make it happen let’s believe Tyson Fury and I said to George Warren last night, get the details and the offer over to us and I’ll take it to AJ, he’s ready to go. He later claimed he wanted to fight Chisora before claiming his rival turned down £2million for a trilogy fight. That deadline came and went when Usyk ruled out a December date. For me and the cynic in boxing, this smells of, ‘Oh, we couldn’t agree the AJ deal so I’m fighting this bloke you’ve never heard of instead, but no one else was available.’ Fury insists he wants to fight again in 2022, however, and called out Joshua for a Battle of Britain.

Boxing pundit Adam Catterall reckons Anthony Joshua has called Tyson Fury's bluff after a call out.

"It’s a fight we all want to see and we have to see because if boxing’s going to remain one of the premier sports in the world, we need to see the best face the best." Is AJ a bigger puncher? I believe that because Wilder has the bigger punch than AJ, but Wilder is not technically good enough to put Fury in a position to nail him and that’s why he couldn’t land on the night.
