AJ Refuses to Commit to Fury Showdown After Being Called Out

Anthony Joshua has stated that he will likely face Tyson Fury next, but has refused to commit to the highly anticipated British heavyweight bout after being challenged by his rival. Fury, who recently defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov, immediately called out Joshua for a fight, but Joshua remained non-committal, stating that he will only agree to the bout through official contract negotiations. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, also declined to engage in discussions in the ring, instead preferring to handle negotiations in a more formal setting. The potential bout between Joshua and Fury, two of the greatest heavyweights of their generation, has been in the works for years but has yet to come to fruition. Joshua has expressed his willingness to fight Fury, but only on his own terms, stating 'I'm the boss, you work for me.' The fight is expected to be one of the biggest in British boxing history, but a date has yet to be confirmed. Joshua has been dealing with personal issues, including a recent car accident in Nigeria, and has stated that he needs to focus on his own priorities before committing to the fight. Fury, on the other hand, has been guiding an industry-changing venture into boxing and has expressed his desire to make the fight happen. The ball is now in Fury's court, with Joshua waiting for him to make the next move.
