Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker: Unified champion calls out Tyson Fury to face him in blockbuster British showdown

Joshua wants Fury but also has his eyes on beating Wilder to become the undisputed champion

Anthony Joshua has called out Tyson Fury in the wake of his heavyweight unification title fight with Joseph Parker in Cardiff on Saturday night.

The Brit added Parker’s WBO title to his IBF, IBO and WBA straps after being taken all the way and needing a unanimous points decision to keep his unbeaten run intact.

The only belt remaining is Deontay Wilder’s WBC strap and when asked who he wanted next after dispatching Parker, Joshua admitted he had his eye on becoming the undisputed champion – but would still like a domestic superclash with Fury next.

“I want Wilder,” he said in the immediate aftermath. “Or Fury. Get him [Wilder] in the ring and I’ll knock him spark out. Wilder, let’s go baby!

“IBO, WBO, WBA, IBF. I'm not into the hype, let's get the business done. Let's see what the future holds, I'm down for whatever, whenever.”

While Fury is still getting back into shape and would almost certainly require a tune-up fight or two before Joshua, Wilder has repeatedly called out his heavyweight rival, although promoter Eddie Heard admitted there has been no contact from the Bronze Bomber’s camp.

“It’s realistic from our side. Deontay was supposed to be here tonight, but he’s not,” Hearn said. “Let’s show Deontay what 80,000 [people] sound like.

“They don’t want it. He wins all the belts. At 22 fights he has the chance to take them all.”
