Anthony Joshua\u2019s highly-anticipated showdown against Tyson Fury could reportedly be inked for next year.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe British heavyweight duo were set to face off this year before a court ruling in the United States ordered The Gypsy King to meet Deontay Wilder in a trilogy bout, which is set to take place next month.<\/p>\n

Unified champion Joshua \u2013 forced to wait to face Fury as a result \u2013 meanwhile faces Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The report adds that estimates suggest the fight could be worth as much as \u00a3200million, and that Wembley Stadium \u2013 a 90,000-capacity ground \u2013 is seen as the only realistic venue in the UK for the clash.<\/p>\n

The outlet adds that the other fight in the double-header is increasingly likely to take place in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

But while next year\u2019s potential double-header may appear far away in the calendar, it has not stopped the duo taking shots at each other.<\/p>\n

Joshua \u2013 who with promoter Eddie Hearn were left fuming after Fury cancelled the fights planned for this year \u2013 insists he expects there to be further delays to his mouthwatering showdown with Fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s someone who pulls out of fights, even with the Wilder situation happening,\u201d Joshua said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see him sometime soon. When everybody\u2019s ready, we\u2019ll be here waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the prospect of facing Fury next, Joshua added: \u201cYou know, what an honour it would be to fight Tyson, get another good fighter on the record, beat him, we move forward. I\u2019d love that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were close to doing it. We were a couple of weeks away and, boom, it came to an end. We\u2019ll get it on\u2026 I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

WBC champion Fury then responded on Gary Neville\u2019s Overlap show, accusing Joshua of only fighting rivals who were good \u201910 years ago\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony Joshua\u2019s fought not one heavyweight in his prime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all former good men, back in the early 2000s, late 2000s, but not in 2020-odd. They were good men 10 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while the war of words may continue, both have more pressing concerns however, with Joshua defending his WBA, WBO and IBF world titles in one of the toughest tests of his career against Usyk in north London.<\/p>\n

Joshua, 31, is back in the ring for the first time since last December and has been installed as the bookmakers\u2019 favourite to triumph in north London.<\/p>\n

But Usyk, an Olympic gold medallist and former cruiserweight champion, is yet to taste defeat as a professional, and Fury\u2019s promoter Frank Warren has predicted an upset if the Ukrainian turns up on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Fury recently revealed his dream next five fights, which included a Joshua double-header, after defeating Wilder and then Dillian Whyte in December.<\/p>\n

However, Fury insisted he does not think a fight between the pair will ever take place, insisting Joshua and his team knew all about the arbitration case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was never optimistic about AJ happening,\u201d Fury said. \u201cThis was always going on in the background and they knew all that.<\/p>\n

\u201cEddie Hearn knew it, Joshua knew it \u2013 they all knew it. All of a sudden, it\u2019s my fault because I\u2019m a s***house, please.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI don\u2019t think the fight will happen. We\u2019ve been trying to do this fight since we were 22 years old and I\u2019m now 33.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
