Anthony Joshua has reacted to Tyson Fury's public challenge, further heightening tensions for their highly anticipated superfight.
After his victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov, Fury directly called out Joshua for a fight, stating that his rival should no longer avoid this duel, reports "Gazeta Express".
But Joshua was not swayed by public pressure and gave a clear answer:
"Do it right. If you want this match, do it right."
He also criticized the way Fury is seeking this fight in public:
"Don't do it for attention. These things are done behind the scenes, professionally."
The British boxer hinted that he will not fall for the media provocation game, indirectly calling his rival an "attention seeker."
However, Joshua did not rule out the possibility of a confrontation:
"Of course it's a match that can happen, but it has to be at the right time and under the right conditions."
On the other hand, Fury continues to publicly push for this duel, increasing the pressure on his rival to finalize the deal as soon as possible.
The verbal clash between the two boxers has reignited great interest in the boxing world, as fans continue to await one of the biggest fights that has yet to take place.
If it happens, the "Battle of Britain" between Fury and Joshua is expected to be one of the biggest events in modern sports history. /Express newspaper
