Tyson Fury CONFIRMS talks with Anthony Joshua over September fight as he looks to secure biggest bout in British boxing


TYSON FURY has sent Anthony Joshua another offer for the biggest fight in British boxing history.

The 34-year-old WBC Gypsy King tried to lure the former WBA, IBF and WBO king into a short-notice showdown in December.

But that all-English spectacular – and Saudi and Wembley undisputed deciders withs Oleksandr Usyk – all collapsed.

Fury has now been out of the ring since his December win over Derek Chisora and the 6ft 9in super-dad must need a payday as he has ordered his team to make AJ – who has been planning a December dance with Deontay Wilder – a real rumble.

He wrote on Instagram: “A few days ago I sent a draft contract to Anthony Joshua for a fight in September at Wembley Stadium.

“It’s a fight that everyone wants to see, including myself.

“Come on AJ, let’s give the world what they want to see. 

‘This time I’m not gonna make a million vids & keep putting pressure on. 

“The ball is now on your side.”

US promoter Bob Arum admitted this week, while in Belfast to promote another show, that the giant showman was impossible to guide or control.

But now the chance of an overdue Fury vs AJ spectacular has been revisited, with Fury matchmaker George Warren contacting AJ man Eddie Hearn to briefly discuss a monumental bout.

Fury was tipped to fight Usyk for the four-belt decider in Saudi Arabia in December – with AJ and Deontay Wilder to meet in a fantasy four-man spectacle the same night.

That dream appears to be fading so Fury has told his team to explore the biggest money options and AJ remains the most golden goose in the game.

But fans are unlikely to get excited after so many dull disappointments.
