Fury Challenges AJ to Long-Awaited Showdown: 'Let's Make It Happen Now'

Tyson Fury has issued a direct challenge to Anthony Joshua, urging him to step into the ring for a highly anticipated all-British fight. Fury revealed that he has already signed on for the bout, but Joshua has yet to commit. 'I'm not setting any deadlines,' Fury stated. 'It's simple: he's either in or he's out.' The boxing world has been clamoring for this matchup since Fury's rise to world champion in 2015 and Joshua's rapid ascent following his Olympic victory in 2012. After Fury's recent win against Arslanbek Makhmudov, he called out Joshua, who was in attendance, to face off in the ring. However, Joshua did not confirm the fight, leaving Fury frustrated and characterizing his response as 'evasive.' Fury expressed his disappointment, saying, 'He didn't give a clear answer. He wasn't saying yes, and in my opinion, he didn't want to fight.' The uncertainty surrounding the bout has been ongoing for 10 years, with Fury now stating that if the fight doesn't happen next, he will lose interest in boxing. 'It's either Anthony Joshua or I'm done,' Fury declared. 'This is the defining fight for British boxing, and it's now or never.'
