Heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua says he is ready to share the ring with Tyson Fury after crushing challenger, Kubrat Pulev on Saturday night.
He told Sky Sports: “I started this game in 2013. I’ve been chasing all the belts. I’ve been dealing with mandatories.
“Of course I want the challenge. It’s not about the opponent, it’s about the legacy and the belt. Whoever has got the belt, I would love to compete with them. If that is Tyson Fury, let it be Tyson Fury. It’s no big deal.
“It’s one fight at a time, picking them off one by one. That’s all it’s about for me. I’ve got to stay focused.”
Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn has been holding talks with Bob Arum, Fury’s US promoter, and is determined to negotiate terms between both world champions.
Also, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said “Starting from tomorrow, we make the Tyson Fury fight straight away. It’s the only fight to be made in boxing. It is the biggest fight in British boxing history.
“I know he (Joshua) wants it, He is the best heavyweight in the world, I promise you. He’ll break him down, he’ll knock him out.”
Joshua retained his WBA, IBF and WBO belts with a ninth round knockout win over Kubrat Pulev at The SSE Arena in Wembley on Saturday, which kept him on course for a blockbuster battle with WBC champion Fury.
