Joshua is the fight Fury needs, much more so than the winner of the WBO world title fight between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois on May 9 in Manchester.
“They’re all options because nothing’s promised. The biggest fight for me in world boxing and the biggest fight in the world of boxing is me versus AJ,” Fury defined.
“Even today, even after all these years it’s still the biggest fight in boxing, it’s still the biggest fight.”

Though Joshua is his most popular opponent, a trilogy fight with Usyk and a title fight with the Wardley-Dubois victor have enchantment too.
“After that [AJ fight] for me, it would be me versus Usyk, or the winner of them two [Wardley and Dubois],” Fury stated.
“Three-time world champion’s pretty good, it’s got a good ring to it. But being a five-time world champion or the chance to knock AJ out, I’d take the chance to knock AJ out.
“Because as soon as you’ve got received all of the belts earlier than, which I’ve – it’s all the time good to be a world champion, nice. But it’s not the be all and finish all.
“I think the fans are more interested in me and Joshua in the street rather than another world title.”
