Anthony Joshua has revealed that taking on Tyson Fury in a “best of Britain” showdown would be his dream fight.
The British heavyweight is currently gearing up for his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jnr, having lost his world titles to the Mexican underdog in June.
But if he were to overcome Ruiz in Saudi Arabia, Joshua would then set his sights on a highly-anticipated bout with Fury.
Asked by Sky Sports what his preferred fight would be, Joshua said: “I always change it, but right now, I’d say Fury at Wembley.
“The best of Britain. It is a massive fight. You will [see it].”
Fellow former world champion Fury is hoping to rematch Deontay Wilder in February, having shared a controversial split draw in Los Angeles.

The Gypsy King recovered from a gruesome cut to remain unbeaten against Otto Wallin earlier this month.
And Joshua confirmed that he was confident he would eventually fight both heavyweight opponents.
He added: “Yes, 100 per cent. That’s like asking if a certain football team will play another football team. Of course.
“We’re in the same division, in the same era. We have to fight each other.
“We’re all big draws in the heavyweight division so it would be massive.
“I’d love to fight Wilder, I’d love to fight Fury. I’m fighting Ruiz Jr next. The list goes on – there’s so many out there that I’d love to compete with.”
