Fury was heavily expected to fight Oleksandr Usyk but the English fighter claimed the Ukrainian is ‘b****ing’ and hence turned his attention to his countryman.

“You’re coming off a 12-round fight, you’re match fit, you’re ready. I’m giving you a few months’ notice. If you’re interested, I’ll send you a 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.”

Joshua has now replied, writing in response: “Yea calm. I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if your really about it shout @258mgt. I’ll be ready in December. Khalas.”

Talks could now take place between the respective parties with a year-ending match-up on the cards.

Any fight would be one of the most highly anticipated of all time given the historic tension between the two boxers as they seek to be considered Britain’s best.

Fury had originally announced his retirement from boxing following his knock-out victory over Dillian Whyte however swiftly announced he would reverse his decision following the Uysk and Joshua’s rematch last month.

The Ukrainian won in relatively convincing circumstances after outclassing the orthodox fighter in Saudi Arabia. The 35-year-old hence held the unified WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles he had initially taken from the Brit in 2021.

Fury currently holds the WBC belt and it was expected that he would face Usyk before the end of the year to find out who was the ultimate heavyweight boxer.

34-year-old Fury announced over the weekend that he would soon announce his next fight date over the weekend despite the fact his opponent is yet to be finalised.
