Anthony Joshua has claimed that Tyson Fury should join him by signing for Matchroom Boxing - in order to get a mega fight between the pair sorted as quickly and smoothly as possible.

The former lineal heavyweight champion has been out of the ring for two-and-a-half years since his crowning moment in Düsseldorf where he defeated Wladimir Klitschko, and with his comeback from various out-of-the-ring issues looming, he remains a free agent.

Speaking to iFL TV after a press conference on Tuesday afternoon ahead of his fight against Joseph Parker, the unified heavyweight champion offered his advice to Fury over his future.

"Fury should sign with Matchroom. I fought Klitschko at Wembley, Takam and now Parker. After the Klitschko fight, Wilder weren't calling me out, so I was calling out Fury: 'Tyson Fury, where you at baby!?' because that's who I was looking to fight after. It would be a good fight if we can make that happen, that was a fight I was looking forward to, to be fair. Then Wilder was quiet saying 'I wish we had this in America!'"

Although refusing to look beyond his fight against Parker on Saturday, Joshua has a range of opponents who he could face throughout the rest of 2018 and said that he wouldn't be avoiding anyone on his road to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, with Parker holding the WBO and Wilder the WBC belt.

"Then after that, I had a defence against Takam and now we're here fighting for another championship belt. No ducking and diving, we've been lively and we know where we're going to just follow the process."
