Tyson Fury on Sunday accepted the challenge issued by world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua following the Londoner ’ s title victory over Wladimir Klitschko .
Joshua , who stopped the Ukrainian in the 11 th round at Wembley on Saturday, immediately called out fellow Briton Fury , who beat Klitschko on points in November 2015 .
“ Fury , where you at , baby ?” he asked .
“ I know he ’ s been talking , I want to give 90 , 000 a chance to see us . ”
Fury , who has not fought since beating Klitschko , replied : “Let ’ s dance . ”
Joshua is now unbeaten in 19 fights , with all his victories coming inside the distance . The 27 - year- old’ s win in front of a post- war British record 90 , 000 fans at the national stadium added the WBA belt to his IBF strap .
Fury , 28 , is also unbeaten as a professional , with 18 knockouts in 25 fights , but surrendered his world heavyweight titles in an effort to focus on his mental health problems and is currently without a boxing licence and out of condition .
However , he remains active on social media and indicated he wants to return , judging by his reply on Twitter to Joshua ’ s calls from the ring.
“ Challenge accepted , ” Fury wrote . “ We will give the world the biggest fight in 500 years . I will play with you . You are a boxer ’ s dream.
“ Well done Anthony Joshua . Good fight . You had life and death with Klitschko and I played with the guy . Let ’ s dance . ”
