Fury was initially braced to take on Joshua in August to determine who will be crowned the undisputed champ.

But those plans were scuppered after the Court of Arbitration ordered Fury to fulfill his contractual obligations to scrap the Bronze Bomber.

The 32-year-old will then fight his fellow countryman before eyeing a ‘stand-up bang out’ fight with Ngannou.

Ngannou is the current UFC heavyweight king after knocking out Stipe Miocic.

But he dreams of making the switch to boxing to fight Fury in the future.

And it’s an offer Fury is eager to accept, especially after training with the legendary Nick Diaz in the octagon.

He told TMZ Sports: “Nick looks good. Nick is training hard and he is making his comeback.

“He did tell me that Ngannou can’t do any wrestling anyway, so we are just looking for a stand-up bang out.

“Me and Ngannou in the small gloves, let’s make it happen.

“As soon as I am done with Wilder and Joshua, I will fight Ngannou in an octagon, in the four ounce gloves and just punching.”
