Anthony Joshua told Tyson Fury that he will be ready to fight in December.
Joshua suffered his third professional loss last month after defeating Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch for the heavyweight title.
Fury, meanwhile, was hoping to challenge Usyk for the undisputed crown this year, but he won’t be back in the ring until 2023 as he recovers from injury and wants to spend time with his family, he says.
Fury, who is on a 33-game unbeaten streak, faces Joshua in the Battle of Britain this week.
Fury said: “You may have heard that I will be fighting in the next few months.
“I think it should be done before announcing the rival, just in case.
Anthony Joshua, I know you just lost the fight with Usyk and you are currently on hiatus. I want to give you the opportunity to fight me for the WBC Heavyweight Championship. I will win a championship in the next few months,” he said in a public address to Joshua.
You are done with 12 rounds of fighting, so you are ready, you are ready.
If you’re interested I’ll send you the date so we can chat. WBC British World Heavyweight Championship.
“Let me know if you’re interested. If not, I’ll pick another opponent.”
Joshua then responded to Fury’s Twitter:
“We don’t do online discussions just to make an impact, so if you’re really interested, please contact @258mgt. [Joshua’s management team].
“It will be ready in December.”
