”Eddie is right, as a promoter it works well for him, it works well for me and I think it works well for people who want to watch me and Fury get it on.

Joshua understands he must also fulfill his obligations with regard to mandatory fights as a champion against opponents including New Zealand’s Joseph Parker and American Deontay Wilder.

“At the minute, the fighters who are closer on a championship level are the likes of Parker and Wilder,” Joshua added.

Tyson Fury who has fallen off the radar in recent years may look to revive his career against Joshua.
