Anthony Joshua next fight: AJ tells Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder he’s ready to rumble

Anthony Joshua says he is ready to fight either Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury after the pair’s controversial draw in Los Angeles last weekend.

The heavyweight has broken his silence in the wake of the bout after Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel said his fighter was “very interested” in putting his WBC title on the line against the Briton.

Four belt holder Joshua wrote on Twitter: “What took this fool so long? Like we ain’t been interested?!! Anyway, well done Fury! They wanted to get you because they assumed you was finished!! I’ll give you a fair one when your [sic] ready! Either one of you!”

Joshua is scheduled to fight again at Wembley on April 13 against an, as yet, unnamed opponent. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, flew out to Los Angeles yesterday to hold talks with Wilder’s representatives about that spring showdown, which could conceivably take place against either Wilder or Fury.
