Tyson Fury has taken to social media to challenge Anthony Joshua to a fight for his WBC heavyweight title in what he says would be a ‘Battle of Britain’
Anthony Joshua says he would be ready to fight Tyson Fury ‘in December’ after the WBC champion proposed a “Battle of Britain” heavyweight clash.

“Anthony Joshua, I know you’ve just lost a fight to Usyk and you’re bout-less at the moment, and I’d like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world and the lineal championship in the next few months,” he said in a public address to Joshua.

“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 rumble. A battle of Britain for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world.
“Let me know if you’re interested, if not I will select another opponent.”
Fury later repeated his offer to Joshua via Twitter on Monday evening, claiming he has both the “date and venue” arranged.
Joshua responded later that evening, directing Fury to his management team to discuss a deal.
“Yea calm,” Joshua posted. “I don’t do the online discussions just for clout, so if your really about it shout @258mgt.
“I’ll be ready in December.”
Warren: Written offer being sent on Tuesday
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has revealed that they are sending an offer to Joshua’s representatives on Tuesday.
“We’re sending a written offer across today to them,” Warren told talkSPORT

Tyson.
“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 wanna grab this with both hands.
