Anthony Joshua is targeting a showdown with fellow undefeated Brit Tyson Fury after adding the WBA belt to his IBF title with Saturday’s win over Wladimir Klitschko.
Joshua extended his perfect record to 19 wins after climbing off the canvas to earn an 11th-round stoppage win over 69-fight veteran Klitschko in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
The 27-year-old called Fury out immediately after his 19th straight victory inside the distance, and speaking to Sky Sports News HQ from north London on Sunday afternoon, Joshua insisted his domestic foe is the man the fans want to see him fight.
He said: “I do [think that is the fight the British public wants to see] and that’s why I mentioned it because it’s not as if I’m calling out someone random or drawing attention to someone random.
“I have heard and seen people talking and it seems like it is heading in that direction.
“I just like to entertain and if that’s a fight that will bring entertainment to the sport again, I would love to be involved in another dust-up but this time it would be two Brits coming together.”
