AJ Refuses to Commit to Fury Showdown After Ring Call-Out

Anthony Joshua has expressed his willingness to fight Tyson Fury, but he refuses to commit to the highly anticipated British heavyweight bout on Fury's terms. Following Fury's victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Gypsy King issued a challenge to Joshua, who was in attendance. However, Joshua declined to accept the challenge immediately, stating that he wants to negotiate the terms of the fight through official contract discussions rather than in the midst of a crowded stadium. Joshua emphasized that he is the one in control, saying 'I'm the boss, you work for me,' and that Fury should come to him with his terms and conditions when he is ready. The proposed fight between Joshua and Fury has been years in the making, but it has yet to materialize due to various reasons, including Deontay Wilder exercising a rematch clause in 2021. Joshua clarified that he is willing to fight Fury, but only when the contracts are signed and the terms are agreed upon. He also stated that he is not interested in engaging in a war of words or seeking to gain attention, but rather in getting the fight done through official channels. The highly anticipated bout is expected to happen eventually, but for now, the wait continues.
