Former British professional boxer Amir Khan has told Tyson Fury to get himself ready to fight Anthony Joshua.
Joshua, 35, has been out of the ring since September’s stunning loss to IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois. Fury has a record of 34 wins, one draw, and two defeats.
Those two losses came against Ukraine’s Usyk, who ended Fury’s 15-year unbeaten streak as a professional in their first contest last May before winning the December rematch.
A huge bout between two iconic stars of British boxing has been touted for several years. However, the fight has never managed to hurdle the negotiation stage.

However, Khan, in an interview with Spinbit, charged Fury to consider fighting Joshua.
“There’s only one fight for him [Fury] and it’s the Anthony Joshua fight,” Khan, 38, said to Spinbit “Because both fighters are massive names in the UK and maybe he should give Anthony Joshua that fight to the UK public.
“If you think about it, how did Tyson Fury get a massive name in boxing? It was because he was always interlinked with Joshua. He has to give him that respect and because he was linked with Joshua, who was such a superstar, he helped Tyson Fury become the name he is, especially in the UK market.”
