Joshua's Fury Call-Out Ignored as Rival Stays Silent
Joshua's Fury Call-Out Ignored as Rival Stays Silent

Tyson Fury has seemingly ignored Anthony Joshua's latest call-out, with the Gypsy King opting to stay silent on social media. Joshua took to X on Tuesday to mock Fury, calling him a 'dippy mate' and vowing to 'punch his head in' when they eventually meet. However, Fury has not responded, instead reposting a message from a podcast host and a trading card image.

Joshua, 35, has not fought since his fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. He rejected an immediate rematch, underwent elbow surgery, and recently returned to training with a target of fighting again early in 2026. Fury, 36, also plans to return next year after completing filming commitments with Netflix.

The two heavyweight rivals have long been at loggerheads but have failed to agree a fight. Fury announced his retirement after his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk but reversed the decision weeks later. Last year, Fury insisted a fight with Joshua would always be on the table, stating: 'Even if we're 50 years old he's got to fight me.'
