It comes after Joshua’s title fight rematch defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month. Fury claimed to have retired from boxing after his win over Dillian Whyte earlier this year, but insisted in a rant on his Instagram story that he would be returning to action after witnessing one of the “worst heavyweight title fights” between the pair.
And Fury was asked on Saturday: “So after you beat Usyk, are you going to go after the big bum dosser Anthony Joshua?”
He replied: “Listen, 100%, these fights are there to be made and if Joshua is still around then he can have it too, not a problem. They can all get it from the Gypsy King, no problem.”

It would come despite Hearn recently outlining Joshua’s path back to the top, which will likely see him facing a top-15 fighter in December before taking on a rematch with Whyte next year.
