Anthony Joshua accepts Tyson Fury's challenge for 'Battle of Britain' this year as WBC champion waits on Oleksandr Usyk
Fury said in a video posted on social media: “You’ve all heard that I’m going to be fighting within the next few months, and before I announce an opponent I need to do this just in case., I know you’ve just lost a fight to Usyk, and I know you’re belt-less at the moment, and I’d like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world and the lineal championship in the next few months.
“If you’re interested I’ll send you the date over and we can rumble – a battle of Britain for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world. Let me know if you’re interested, if not I will select another opponent.” Fury, who claimed to have retired in April when he successfully defended his world title with a sixth-round stoppage of Dillian Whyte at Wembley, got a positive reaction from Joshua after following up his initial tweet.
‘The Gypsy King’ said: “Yo @anthonyjoshua what you saying big G let’s give the fanz what they want??? I got the date and venue who will rule Britannia?” Fury was back in the limelight on Saturday night as a special guest at WWE wrestling’s major event at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
