World Boxing Council (WBC) Champion, Tyson Fury has said that he would love to fight his counterpart, Anthony Joshua first before facing Oleksandr Uysk in a unification bout.
Anthony Joshua is still looking attractive to Fury despite losing all his belts to Usyk.
Joshua lost the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles to Usyk with a decision defeat last September, and the unbeaten Ukrainian outpointed the 32-year-old again last month to retain his belts.
Meanwhile, a unification bout between Usyk and Fury has been placed on the table and may happen early 2023.
However, feelers from Fury’s camp suggest that the English boxer could face Anthony Joshua or someone else before the Unification bout with Usyk.
Fury believes that fans are still eager to see the heavyweights face-off in the ring and is ready to fight Joshua.
He took to social media on Monday to offer Antony Joshua a WBC heavyweight championship fight amid delays to his plans to face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout.
“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.”
