Joshua calls out Fury: “If you’re really that good, get in the ring with me”

British former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua called out his compatriot Tyson Fury after stopping American influencer and boxer Jake Paul.

“I’ve shaken the rust off and I can’t wait to roll into 2026. And if Tyson Fury is as serious as he says he is, if he’s ready to put Twitter down and put the gloves on, then let him come out and fight. I’m one of the realest guys in this game, I’ll take any challenge.

If you’re really that good, get in the ring with me next. Enough of this ‘AJ this, AJ that’ talk – let’s meet in the ring and let our fists do the talking,” Joshua said.

On the night of December 20, Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) defeated Jake Paul (12-2, 7 KOs) by knockout in the sixth round. Before the stoppage, the American had already been down three times. After the fight, Jake revealed that he had suffered a broken jaw.
