WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is currently contracted to defend his title against former champion Deontay Wilder in December. However, that hasn’t stopped him from taking shots at his possible heavyweight opponent, Anthony Joshua.

Both Joshua and Fury have been put side-by-side throughout the years, often hinting at a viable matchup. Yet the duo is far from meeting each other inside the ring.

“I hope so, I am contracted to do it. So we will see what happens. Hopefully, we (Fury and Wilder) will meet in December. We are all looking forward to it, training hard,” said Fury.

However, while speaking about Anthony Joshua, Fury completely blamed Eddie Hearn and AJ for not putting the bout together. Frank Warren believes that Joshua has been ducking Fury throughout his career. And the WBC champion seems to agree with it.

“I think exactly the same. I said to AJ, I said to Eddie Hearn. Grow up, come sit, and let’s get it signed. You know I am number one in the division, lineal champion, Ring Magazine champion, WBC champion, only undefeated champion at the moment, so you know what time it is.”
