I’ll Be Ready To Rock & Roll! Anytime Against Fury- Joshua

IBF, WBO, IBO, WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is trying his best not to look ahead, but he realizes that a full division unification with Tyson Fury could be just around the corner.

On Saturday night at the SSE Arena at Wembley, Joshua will face the IBF’s mandatory challenger, Kubrat Pulev.

Should Joshua win, he will be in line for a showdown with Fury in 2021.

Earlier this year, Joshua and Fury reached an agreement in principle on the financial terms of a two-fight deal.

Fury had been slated to return to the ring on December 5, but he pushed back his stay-busy fight until next year.

Outside of Joshua needing to secure a victory this weekend, the biggest hurdle is an ongoing legal battle between Fury and Deontay Wilder.

Fury stopped Wilder in seven rounds back in February at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Wilder has since initiated a legal action to enforce an immediate rematch clause, which Fury believes expired back in October.

If everything works out as planned, Joshua is more than ready to move forward with a Fury showdown in the first half of the coming year.

“There is a genuine possibility, for sure,” Joshua said about fighting Fury.

“I don’t get involved in the show. When it’s serious, I will be ready to rock and roll. I’m training hard and ready to defend my titles, all in the name of the undisputed championship.

“I’m fighting my mandatory so I don’t have to give up my titles so I can fight for the undisputed championship. If I didn’t want to fight for the undisputed championship, I would have vacated my IBF and taken an easier fight. People want to see the undisputed championship so I have to fight tough guys like Pulev along the way to get myself in position.”
