Tyson Fury has accepted the challenge issued by world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua following the Londoner’s title victory over Wladimir Klitschko.<\/p>\n
Joshua, who stopped the Ukrainian in the 11th round at Wembley, immediately called out fellow Briton Fury, who beat Klitschko on points in November 2015.<\/p>\n
“Fury, where you at, baby?” he asked. “I know he’s been talking, I want to give 90,000 a chance to see us.”<\/p>\n
Fury, who has not fought since beating Klitschko, replied: “Let’s dance.”<\/p>\n
Joshua is now unbeaten in 19 fights, with all his victories coming inside the distance. The 27-year-old’s win in front of a post-war British record 90,000 fans at the national stadium added the WBA belt to his IBF strap.<\/p>\n
Fury, 28, is also unbeaten as a professional, with 18 knockouts in 25 fights, but surrendered his world heavyweight titles in an effort to focus on his mental health problems and is currently without a boxing licence and out of condition.<\/p>\n
