Anthony Joshua continues to increase his desire to face Tyson Fury in his next fight. The British superstar drew criticism for declining to call out Fury after his ninth-round demolition of Kubrat Pulev on Dec. 12 at the SSE Arena in London. Joshua has made the media rounds to clarify his stance, insisting that he has every intention to face the “Gypsy King”. “How close is the Fury fight? I promise you it’s happening,” he wrote in a guest column in the recent issue of Boxing News. “But until you hear it from me, don’t buy into anything. I’m serious about the fight so when I announce it you’ll know it’s real. “I’m taking my time because there has been a lot of back-and-forth for years. I’ve been chasing this road to 'undisputed' and when the time is right I’ll announce it and I’ll have my mind fully focused on the job at hand.”
