Anthony Joshua Refuses to Commit to Tyson Fury Fight After Public Call-Out

Following Tyson Fury's victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov, Anthony Joshua was called out for a highly anticipated British heavyweight showdown, but he refused to commit to the fight. Joshua stated that he will 'probably' face Fury next, but only after official contract negotiations have taken place. Joshua expressed his reluctance to engage in a verbal confrontation, instead opting for a more formal approach to arranging the bout. The fight 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 emphasized that he is not interested in 'clout-chasing' and will only agree to the fight once the terms and conditions are formally agreed upon. He also made it clear that he is the one in control, stating 'I'm the boss, you work for me.' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, also declined to engage in a public confrontation, instead choosing to focus on formal negotiations. The potential bout between Joshua and Fury has been touted as one of the biggest fights in British boxing history, but it remains to be seen whether it will finally come to fruition.
