Battle of Britons makes sense – Joshua

ANTHONY Joshua has said a blockbuster fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title with Tyson Fury is needed to determine a single dominant figure in the division.

Joshua, 30, beat MexicanAmerican Andy Ruiz jun in a December rematch in Saudi Arabia to win back his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO titles, while Fury won the WBC title in Las Vegas two months ago by stopping Deontay Wilder.

“If you really want to say you’re number one, come fight me. Let’s get it on. I’ve got the rest of the belts so it only makes sense,” Joshua told Sky Sports, addressing fellow Briton Fury.

Joshua’s next bout against mandatory IBF challenger Kubrat Pulev was scheduled for June 20 but postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
