Tyson Fury was quoted as saying, “Grow a pair and sign the contract, big boy. I’ve always said for a long time that I do believe that Anthony Joshua is tailor-made for someone like my style. I think it’s going to be one of the most explosive, quickest fights you are going to see. I’m aiming to take him out inside four rounds. We’ll see what’s going to go on. Let’s hope this fight happens. I’m willing to take the fight. I don’t know whether they are. I’ve been willing to take the fight for the last five years.”

Warning AJ, Tyson said, “It was but no disrespect to Pulev – he is 39 years old and he has not had a competitive fight since 2014. He has not been boxing regularly against high profile opposition. At 40 years old, he is ready for his slippers anyway. It is easier said than done. When I was fighting Wilder I had lost 10 stone in eight months. After three years inactivity. Yes, he shook me in round 12. But a few months later it was just a mismatch. Wilder did not win any second of the rematch. That is the Fury that Joshua will have to face.”

He concluded saying, “It’s not happened so far, but I’m very optimistic it will happen in 2021.”

Well, The Gypsy King has had his say. Now it’s up to the promoters to make this happen as soon as possible. What are your thoughts on this? Should Joshua accept Fury’s offer? Or should he fight someone else like Usyk?
