Anthony Joshua called out Tyson Fury and confirmed he would be fighting again this summer as he marked his return to the ring with a unanimous decision victory over Jermaine Franklin on Saturday night.
The former two-time world heavyweight champion looked understandably nervy but largely dominated proceedings against a tough Franklin in what marked his first outing since losing his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk last August.
It marked the beginning of what has been deemed a new chapter for Joshua as he seeks to re-establish himself back among the world’s title-holding heavyweights.
He wasted no time after the final bell in reiterating his interest in an all-British showdown against Tyson Fury.
“I try and provide for the fans, I know who the fans want – who do the fans want? They said Fury, yeah? The ball is in his court,” Joshua said on the DAZN broadcast.
“I would be 100 per cent honored to compete for the WBC Championship of the world.
”I stand here and say that proudly, that would be an honor.
