Anthony Joshua, the former two-time heavyweight world champion, is pushing for a comeback fight this year after a year out following a loss to Daniel Dubois.
Promoter Eddie Hearn remains confident that Joshua can return before year's end and target a mega bout with Tyson Fury next summer.
Joshua has directly called out Fury, promising to lace up his boots soon and deal with the former WBC champion inside the ring.
In a statement to supporters, Joshua said he hopes to punch Fury's head in and dance around his flicker jab with ease.
He praised Joseph Parker, a former opponent, for his fighting spirit, contrasting it with Fury's, whom he called Parker's 'dippy mate.' Joshua added that he could discredit Fury's career record in minutes but would save it for a potential Gloves Are Off segment if Fury fights 'Big Femi Joshua.' He also acknowledged Fabio Wardley, noting his rise from recruitment work.
The article highlights Joshua's determination to reclaim his status, with Hearn stating Joshua dreams of being world champion again.
Parker is set to fight Wardley for the mandatory challenger position to the undisputed heavyweight title.
Joshua expressed pride in Parker for his willingness to fight anyone, unlike Fury.
The piece includes calls to join newsletters and commenting forums, emphasizing the ongoing rivalry and Joshua's motivation after his hiatus.
This callout revives interest in a long-anticipated British heavyweight clash, potentially one of the biggest in boxing history, amid Joshua's recovery from recent setbacks and Fury's own career uncertainties.
