Anthony Joshua has urged Tyson Fury to fight him while both boxers are still “fresh”, but says he will not “sit around and wait” for his fellow British heavyweight.

Joshua, will challenge Daniel Dubois for the world title on 21 September at Wembley Stadium.

According to reports, Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch in December – a win for the Morecambe fighter and Joshua could set up a blockbuster undisputed fight between the pair.

With the recent investment into boxing by Saudi Arabia, however, there is new hope the long-awaited bout will finally materialize.

Joshua is on a four-fight winning streak and will become a three-time champion if he defeats Londoner Dubois.
