Anthony Joshua has responded to Tyson Futy’s title Challenge saying he would be ready to fight ‘in December’ after the WBC title holder called challened him for a “Battle of Britain” heavyweight clash.

Fury called out Anthony Joshua as it was confirmed that Usyk will not be available to box again this year after beating Joshua last month to defend the unified WBO, WBA and IBF belts.

The WBC titlist who has to defend his WBC belt before the end of the year decided to pick Anthony Joshua as his next opponent if the former WBO, WBA and IBF belt holder accepts the challenge.

“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.

Later that evening, Joshua replied, directing Fury to contact his management group to work out 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.”
