Joshua said, “Yeah calm down. I don’t do the online discussions just for influence, so if you’re really into it, give 258mgt a shout. I will be ready in December. You’re a mess.” Fury is looking for a high-profile opponent for his next fight after rival champion Oleksandr Usyk said he does not intend to return to the ring until 2023. Joshua suffered a second consecutive loss to the Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia last month and promoter of Eddie Hearn is currently considering options for a return early next year. Fury said in a video posted on social media: “You’ve all heard that I’m going to fight in the next few months and before I announce an opponent I have to do it just in case. Anthony Joshua, I know you just lost a fight to Usyk, and I know you don’t have a belt right now, and I would like to give you the opportunity to fight me for the WBC world heavyweight championship and the line championship in the next few months. “You’re coming off a 12-round fight so you’re ready, you’re ready, I’m giving you a few months’ notice. If you are interested, I will send you the date and we will find – a battle of Britain for the WBC World Heavyweight Championship. Let me know if you’re interested, if not I’ll pick another opponent.” Fury, who claimed to have retired in April when he successfully defended his world title with a sixth-round stoppage of Dillian Whyte at Wembley, received a positive reaction from Joshua after following up on his original tweet. Fury said “son anthonyjoshua what do you say big G lets give the fans what they want as Usyk pops??? Got the date and venue Who Will Rule Britain?’
