AJ Refuses to Commit to Fury Fight After Public Call-Out

Anthony Joshua has stated that he will likely face Tyson Fury in his next bout, but he refused to commit to the highly anticipated British heavyweight showdown after Fury's public challenge. Following Fury's victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he immediately called out Joshua, saying 'I want you, AJ, Anthony Joshua. Let's give the fight fans what they want - the Battle of Britain.' However, Joshua remained calm and uncommitted, stating 'I've never had a problem getting in the ring with you... With all due respect, tonight is your night and you know I'll be across that ring from you in due time.' Joshua emphasized that he will not be dictated to and will only agree to the fight through official contract negotiations. The bout between Joshua and Fury, two of the greatest heavyweights of their generation, has been in the works for years but has yet to materialize. Joshua clarified that he is willing to fight Fury, but only on his own terms, saying 'I'm the boss, you work for me. I'm the landlord. Remember that. You work for me.' The fight is expected to be one of the biggest in British boxing history, but Joshua's reluctance to commit has left fans waiting once again.
