Anthony Johsua is open and willing to fight Tyson Fury in December months after his last fight against Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk.
The British boxer accepted the proposal made by his fellow British, Tyson Fury in a WBC heavyweight championship fight.
Tyson Fury made the offer to Anthony Joshua on his posts on his official Instagram and Twitter pages.
“Tyson Fury here, aka the Gypsy King, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, as you can tell,” Fury said in a video posted to Instagram, wearing his belts.
“I think you’ve all heard that I’m going to be fighting soon, within the next few months, and I think that before I announce an opponent, I need to do this, just in case.
“Anthony Joshua, I know you’ve just lost a fight to Usyk and you’re beltless at the moment, and I’d like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world in the next few months.
“You’re coming off a 12-round fight, so you’re match-fit, you’re ready.
“I’m giving you a few months notice, if you’re interested I’ll send you the date over and we can have a rumble, a battle of Britain for the WBC championship.
“Let me know if you’re interested. If not, I will select another opponent. Thank you very much, and good night.”
And Anthony Joshua has responded to the fight request.
