AJ Refuses to Commit to Fury Fight Despite Rival's Call-Out
Anthony Joshua has expressed his willingness to fight Tyson Fury, but refused to commit to the highly anticipated British heavyweight showdown after Fury's call-out following his win over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Joshua stated that he will 'probably' fight Fury next, but emphasized the need for official contract negotiations rather than an immediate agreement. Fury had challenged Joshua to a fight, 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 un committing, stating 'I'm the boss, you work for me. I'm the landlord. Remember that. You work for me.' 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 clarified his stance in an interview, explaining that he wants to agree to the fight through official channels rather than in the midst of a crowded stadium. He also expressed his focus on dealing with personal issues, including a recent car accident, ahead of confirming his next fight. The fight between Joshua and Fury is expected to happen eventually, but for now, the wait continues.
