Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury open talks over blockbuster ... (Irish Mirror)

Fury had planned to fight Oleksandr Usyk before the end of the year but the Ukrainian will not be ready for the undisputed fight until early in 2023. Fury ...

The message is quite clear from AJ, we don’t want to get involved in a backwards and forwards, we want the fight, it’s the fight he’s wanted for a long time. But, I know having spoken to AJ, if that fight is there and they’re serious, which I have my doubts about, but for the good of trying to make it happen let’s believe Tyson Fury and I said to George Warren last night, get the details and the offer over to us and I’ll take it to AJ, he’s ready to go. He later claimed he wanted to fight Chisora before claiming his rival turned down £2million for a trilogy fight. That deadline came and went when Usyk ruled out a December date. For me and the cynic in boxing, this smells of, ‘Oh, we couldn’t agree the AJ deal so I’m fighting this bloke you’ve never heard of instead, but no one else was available.’ Fury insists he wants to fight again in 2022, however, and called out Joshua for a Battle of Britain.

Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has not completely dismissed the idea of his fighter facing WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury later this year.

“Personally, I don’t believe Fury is serious about this, but if he is, which I said to the Warrens last night, 100 percent we will sit down and make the fight.” As expected, this back and forth has whipped British boxing fans into a frenzy, and there is a chance a fight between Fury and Joshua could be made according to Hearn. With a fight against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title delayed until 2023, Fury has turned his attention to his British rival by issuing a challenge on social media this past Monday.

Tyson Fury offers Anthony Joshua 40 per cent of purse for ... (Irish Mirror)

Fury has offered to fight Joshua in the UK in November after insisting he wants to return to the ring this year rather than wait for Oleksandr Usyk.

It’s perfect timing I think for AJ to accept it." It’s us who have made the approach to give AJ a great opportunity to get himself back into the top level against the world champion Tyson. But since then, Joshua has lost twice to Usyk while Fury has made successful defences of his world title against first Wilder and then [Dillian Whyte](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/dillian-whyte). "He’s willing to make that voluntary defence, so we’ll send the offer across today and then they’ll have to look at it and decide whether they want to grab this with both hands. Fury called out his British rival yesterday after insisting he won't wait until the new year to make his return to the ring against Oleksandr Usyk. "I'm being bombarded with messages about how much I'm going to pay AJ," he said.
