JOSHUA ISSUES CHALLENEGE TO FURY

- 

ANTHONY Joshua called out Tyson Fury after labouring toa sixth-round victory over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami.

Joshua, who is reportedly close to agreeing a long-awaited fight against Fury in Riyadh in 2026, was made to work far harder than he would have liked to extinguish the challenge of a brave, but extremely limited, opponent as he did little to suggest he was close to returning to the upper echelons of the sport.

The former heavyweight champion struggled to land a meaningful punch as Paul - who said afterwards that he had suffered a double broken jaw - proved elusive in the early rounds, but dropped him twice in the fifth before finally securing a knockout in round six.

“It wasn’t the best performance,” Joshua told Netflix.
