Anthony Joshua's Close Friends Die Of Coronavirus / Andy Ruiz Jr Apologizes To Eddie Hearn For Beating Anthony Joshua / Anthony Joshua Beats Wladimir Klitschko: WBA Heavyweight Fight (2) (3) (4)
ANTHONY JOSHUA: Fury Accepts Joshua's Challenge by xxolisexx(m): 10:18am On Apr 30, 2017 |
Tyson Fury has accepted the challenge issued
by world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua
following the Londoner's title victory over
Wladimir Klitschko.
Joshua, who stopped the Ukrainian in the 11th
round at Wembley, immediately called out fellow
Briton Fury, who beat Klitschko on points in
November 2015.
"Fury, where you at, baby?" he asked. "I know
he's been talking, I want to give 90,000 a chance
to see us."
Fury, who has not fought since beating Klitschko,
replied: "Let's dance."
Joshua is now unbeaten in 19 fights, with all his
victories coming inside the distance. The 27-
year-old's win in front of a post-war British
record 90,000 fans at the national stadium added
the WBA belt to his IBF strap.
Fury, 28, is also unbeaten as a professional, with
18 knockouts in 25 fights, but surrendered his
world heavyweight titles in an effort to focus on
his mental health problems and is currently
without a boxing licence and out of condition.
However, he remains active on social media and
indicated he wants to return, judging by his reply
on Twitter to Joshua's calls from the ring.
"Challenge accepted," Fury wrote. "We will give
the world the biggest fight in 500 years. I will
play with you. You are a boxer's dream.
"Well done Anthony Joshua. Good fight. You had
life and death with Klitschko and I played with
the guy. Let's dance."

Check out Fury's reply. I played with your opponent yet you had a life or death match with him. I will play with you. I de feel Fury's lyrics. AJ must beat this man for me for Nigeria, for all Africa, for all blacks in the world. This is war gentlemen. I rarely watch fights. But the best parts are the headgames all the back and forth insult even before the fight. Shoutout to Muhammed Ali - the lyrical genius. |
