Joshua confirmed that he has accepted the fight against the Gypsy King after he retweeted a tweet from @258mgt. According to the tweet, the fight between the boxers will go down on December 3rd, 2022. However, the death of Queen Elizabeth II has halted any sort of response from the Tyson Fury camp.
The Gypsy King had earlier called out Joshua for a fight before he announces his official next opponent. The WBC Champion who defeated Deontay Wilder in the final of the trilogy fight has decided to come out of retirement for another fight.
Joshua lost his last fight against Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday, August 20th, 2022 in Saudi Arabia. The Brit lost the fight by a split decision by the judges which did not go down all well with Joshua.
