WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury has sent his first message to Anthony Joshua.
The Gpysy King is still trying to book his return to the boxing ring. Fury last competed in December, in a three-way match against Derek Chisora. In that match, the British star scored his third, and probably last, lopsided victory over Del Boy. This time, he beat the challenger by stoppage in the tenth round.
After the victory, he faced heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the ring. The two were looking forward to a clash in April at Wembley Stadium, but that match was instead dropped in favor of a targeted December match in Saudi Arabia. As a result, Fury has a bit of a wait.
Earlier this week, Tyson Fury made headlines by hinting at his next fight. During a press tour of Australia, the heavyweight champion stated his plans to fight Dempsey McCain. Of course, the response to the fight was tepid at best, which likely led to his conversations with Anthony Joshua.
‘AJ’ is also targeting a comeback in December against Deontay Wilder. Furthermore, promoters hope to book Joshua versus The Bronze Bomber on the same night of Fury’s clash against Usyk. True, much still needs to be done to bring the event to fruition.
