AJ Refuses to Commit to Fury Showdown After Public Challenge

Anthony Joshua has stated he will likely face Tyson Fury next, but he refused to commit to the highly anticipated British heavyweight showdown after Fury's public call-out. Joshua, who was in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, watched Fury defeat Arslanbek Makhmudov and then challenge him to a fight. However, Joshua remained non-committal, stating he wants to agree to the fight through official contract negotiations rather than in the heat of the moment. He declared, 'I'm the boss, you work for me,' indicating that he will not be rushed into a decision. The two boxing stars have been circling each other for years, but a bout between them has yet to materialize. Joshua's reluctance to immediately accept the challenge has left the boxing world waiting once again for a fight that has been a decade in the making.
