Recent moves on social networks show that Tyson Fury wants Anthony Joshua to be his opponent for his comeback after more than 2 and a half years of absence.
Recently, Tyson Fury sent a war letter to Anthony Joshua via personal Twitter. Accordingly, the “clown” of Manchester challenged the new king of the heavyweight boxing industry to accept as his opponent for his comeback.
Tyson Fury’s move surprised the Boxing world when he challenged his compatriot who had just received his second consecutive defeat – Anthony Joshua.
On September 5, on his personal Twitter, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury suddenly announced a challenge to fellow boxer – Anthony Joshua.
“I know you’ve all heard that I’ll be competing again soon, maybe in a few months. But before I announce my opponent, I need to do this first.” – Fury opened the challenge video, which he called “Battle of Britain”.
“Anthony Joshua, I know you just lost to Uysk, right now you don’t own any belt. I want to give you a chance to fight me with the reward of the WBC belt and unification title in a few months.” . You just did a 12-round fight with Usyk and I believe you’re still in the best shape, you’re ready.”
“I’ll give you a few months notice. If you’re interested, I’ll give you a date and we can fight.”
Tyson Fury actively invited Anthony Joshua to fight for the WBC blue belt.
Despite the skepticism surrounding Tyson Fury’s return, as soon as the champion spoke, the bosses of both sides immediately began negotiations.
Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua’s manager, said he had contacted George Warren – son of Frank Warren, Tyson Fury’s manager in the UK to discuss this idea. Currently, the Warren family said they have responded in an official document.
According to Frank Warren, the profit ratio that Tyson Fury’s side wants for this match is 60-40, relatively suitable for the champion’s position.
“I believe we made a suitable offer, Tyson was very fair on this matter. Now is the perfect time for Joshua to accept that offer. He should take it seriously, because We are all interested in organizing this match.” – Frank Warren said.
Currently, Anthony Joshua is aiming for December for his next fight. However, with the unexpected offer from Tyson Fury, Joshua’s team is recalculating options so that both sides can achieve maximum revenue.
