Right, Fury said that he has retired, and then he will come out of retirement for 500 million and will fight Usyk. But since Usyk wanted it at a later time, he now goes with his domestic rival who just lost. Just really hard to piece everything together. And if AJ take the bait, he is not mentally ready. Anyhow, if the money is right then I guess they can go and fight this December.

I voted for Tyson Fury to win, maybe he will score a knock out over Joshua here. Seems Anthony is very desperate right now so I wouldn't be surprised that after Fury smashes him and floored him worst that he did to Wilder, AJ might call it quits. Hard to see how can he overcome the technical skills of Tyson. He had problems with Usyk, so this could be worst for him, I reckon.

I cant believe that I am reading this. For it looks like Fury is planning to have another well paid buy easy fight. Who is Joshua now ? A guy with no belts and two straight losses. Fury got his last real fight in 2021, and before that, only in 2020. I dont think that Whyte was a real thread to Fury. Same will be Joshua. Strong and straightforward boxer. Joshua is not ready right now to fight boxer of such a high level. If this fight really happens, I would be very disappointed, as this might be an easy fight for Fury, not the fight fans wants to see and Fury might really retire after it.

Joshua cannot decline this good offer because this will bring lots of money and they needed it both, no matter what these two boxers had gone through, their fight will be a blockbuster hit this year. That was honestly a generous offer from Fury, Joshua cannot ask more than this after losing to Usyk. Well, anything can also happen with this fight and maybe Joshua has some skills and surprising technique to beat Fury. Who knows right? but Fury is pretty confident that he can easily beat Joshua that's why he calls him to fight this year.

I just stumbled upon this article in my social feed for the fight to push through the WBC must implement a special designated for a WBC title challenge with Tyson Fury, the good news is they will allow Joshua to challenge Fury under their special rule, this is surprising they want the fight to push through even to the extend of giving special designation to Joshua this is an extraordinary decision by WBC and the boxing community must thank WBC for this.
Explained: Special WBC title sanction needed for unrated Anthony Joshua
Explained: Special WBC title sanction needed for unrated Anthony Joshua
Quote
Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua needs to get a special designated for a WBC title challenge with Tyson Fury for reasons twofold.
The first is that Joshua is unrated by the World Boxing Council due to fighting under three other sanctioning bodies for the past six years.
Any boxer fighting under the WBA, WBO, or IBF automatically gets removed by the WBC Ratings Committee.

Fury has made an open challenge via the media to Joshua challenging him to the Battle of Britain fight and putting his belts on the line while Joshua has zero belts.
Joshua reacted saying fury was just clout chasing on social media and should go through the proper channel.
If Joshua accepts and this fight goes ahead, what will will the outcome be and will it shape the future of boxing for years to come?
If I were Joshua, I would avoid fighting for the time being since I just came out of two successive defeats from Usyk, and especially not be in a hurry to fight against Fury who is at the moment more better than him in boxing. If AJ goes ahead to accept the fight as he also mentioned that he will be ready to fight in December, another defeat may just further send his career to bed.

Years ago when they planned this fight Joshua is the holder of 4 belts and Fury had just come out of retirement but now the table is turned Fury is the champion and Joshua just suffered three losses and yet Fury calls out Joshua to make this fight happen, the world has this wished to happen years ago, the situation is very much different but the pride and motivation of both guys to be the greatest British heavyweight champion is still there and hopefully, it will finally happen.

We all thought he was going to stay retire if he cannot get that 500 million pounds, it seems Fury still wants to continue fighting and he picked the right opponent to dare him to fight, Joshua for his part accepted the challenge
This is a very risky fight for Joshua because he is coming from a loss and he can't afford a third one as it will put him way below the all-time heavyweight greats, but this is the fight that we have all waited it should have happened years ago but so many things happened to come to this.

Joshua accepted a fight with Fury - if terms can be agreed. "Yea calm. I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if you really about it shout 258 Management. I’ll be ready in December," he said.

Fury always seems to find a way to win. His unique size/length matched with his unnatural ability to react within a split second makes him a dangerous opponent. I always think he’s going to lose but he never seems to. I assume this fight will be more of the same for him.

What I read on news after Oleksandr Usyk won Anthony Joshua the second time is that the next person he is fighting is the heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. But I am surprised that he does not want to fight with Fury this year, likely because he knows the kind of strength and power Fury has and have to prepare ahead. But with the look of things, no boxer can stand Fury, I may be wrong, but we would see by next year.
Let us see what Anthony Joshua would say about this, but if a match is organized between them both, Fury would likely win.

Fury will likely win, he is definitely stronger in my opinion, while Fury versus Usyk would be next year.

Usyk has announced he will not be fighting again this year even though Fury and his team were desperate for the fight to go ahead therefore Fury has made an open challenge via the media to Joshua challenging him to the Battle of Britain fight and putting his belts on the line while Joshua has zero belts.

Fury is furious because he wants to get Usyk in the ring but has openly invited Joshua to take up the challenge because he made it clear he is not looking to retire just yet. He wants to get the fight confirmed to take place within 3-4 months by telling Joshua in typical Fury fashion "Let me know if you are interested"
