Tyson Fury Calls Out Anthony Joshua After Winning Comeback Fight

Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has reignited talk of a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua after making a winning return to the ring and insisting he has already signed a contract for the fight.

Fury stepped out of retirement once again on Saturday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov on points in a controlled performance.

After the bout, all attention quickly turned to Joshua, who was seated ringside. Fury wasted no time in calling out his fellow Briton, urging him to finally agree to a showdown that has been years in the making.

Despite expectations from fans inside the stadium, Joshua did not step into the ring for a face-off. Speaking afterwards, Fury claimed he had already completed his side of the deal and suggested that Joshua is yet to follow through.

“I’ve signed already,” Fury said. “Let’s just make the fight happen. I don’t know if he has signed, but from what I saw, it doesn’t look like it.”

The 37-year-old also questioned Joshua’s reaction on the night, saying he expected a stronger response if his rival was serious about the fight.

Joshua, 36, could be heard responding from his seat, indicating that negotiations are still ongoing and that no final agreement has been reached.

The situation leaves uncertainty around what would be one of the biggest fights in British boxing history, despite growing pressure from fans and promoters to get it over the line.

Fury’s team, including promoter Frank Warren, also played down suggestions that arrangements have been finalised, with no confirmed venue or official announcement yet.

There were even early reports suggesting the fight could be streamed on Netflix later this year, but those claims have not been confirmed by all parties involved.

Fury, however, remains eager to stay active after his return, making it clear he wants to fight regularly.

“I want three fights this year, no matter who it is,” he added.

For now, boxing fans must wait to see if the long-anticipated Fury vs Joshua contest will finally move from talk to reality.
