Moreover, he went on to add that Joshua could not even beat him with a baseball bat saying, “He couldn’t beat me if he had a baseball bat while I was sleeping.

There have been a lot of talks surrounding Fury’s return to face the winner of the match between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, but Fury has come out and denied those rumors publicly.

However, the champ is yet to vacate his WBC title, making it look like he is waiting for the winner of Joshua vs Usyk 2. Surprisingly, he is only 33 years old and one of the best boxers in the world, which made this decision look strange to a lot of fans. And now, with Fury calling out Joshua publicly, a return certainly looks like a possibility.
