Anthony Joshua accepts Tyson Fury fight after call-out from British rival

Anthony Joshua is ready to fight Tyson Fury in December after being called out by his fellow Brit.

Fury had hoped to face Oleksandr Usyk to crown the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, but the Ukrainian revealed over the weekend that he will not be ready until next year. Fury appears determined to fight again in 2022, however, and turned his attention to Joshua.

The rivals were set to meet in Saudi Arabia last summer before the deal was quashed when Fury was ordered to instead face Deontay Wilder for a third time. Since then, Fury has made two defences of his world title while Joshua has lost back-to-back fights against Usyk.
