When Anthony Joshua successfully defended his four world titles with a severe knockout, Tyson Fury picked up the phone at home.
In the Christmas sweater, the self-proclaimed "Gypsy King" placed himself in front of a few candles and, contrary to the contemplative atmosphere, started off.
“Anthony Joshua just pissed his pants live on TV.
He always talks around it.
I want the fight, I want it next
I'll knock him out in the first three rounds, ”Fury rumbled in a video on Twitter.
Fury let the invitation to fight Joshua's against Ulli Wegner's Bulgarian Kubrat Pulew pass without comment.
And so the two world's best heavyweight boxers did not even meet on the verge of knockout victory.
That should increase in the ring in the coming year.
“I want to fight the one who has a belt.
If this is Tyson Fury, it will be Fury, ”said Joshua.
The calculation is relatively simple: the superstar holds the belts from WBO, WBA, IBF and the second-rate IBO.
The WBC that Fury.
A deal between the two parties should have long been fixed.
A dispute between Fury and Deontay Wilder, who has been dethroned by him, still stands in the way.
The American insists on a third duel.
If both parties agree, the spectacle Fury against Joshua could take place in the first half of 2021.
Much also depends on how many viewers can be there live.

Late on Saturday evening there were 1000 fans in London's Wembley Arena.
Not only did they create a thrilling atmosphere, they also saw a fight that was sometimes spectacular.
Joshua Pulew hit hard in the third round, the 39-year-old had to be counted twice.
But the Bulgarian was tough and did not want to be sent back home so quickly after his second World Cup chance after losing to Wladimir Klitschko in 2014.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn had predicted a knockout against Pulew within the first six rounds.
But Joshua struggled to control, but lost the thread.
Pulew came through more and more often with his lightning-fast combinations, then clearly won the sixth lap.
Only then did Joshua catch himself and use his leading hand more effectively.
In the final seconds of the ninth lap, the spectacular end finally followed.
Pulew took several brute hooks from Joshua and went down again.
Staggering, he pulled himself together one last time, only to be struck down two seconds before the gong after a clean right straight.

The intended demonstration of power by Joshua did not materialize, the fight was not a statement.
But the 31-year-old learned again and showed that he can free himself from a phase of weakness and take some hard blows.
“I'm back to my best boxing.
I hope the fans are happy and have a nice Christmas, ”said Joshua.
After the win, he stepped straight out of the ring and fell into the arms of retired ex-champ Floyd Mayweather.
Where the “moneymaker” is, Joshua wants to be one day: cash in - even more than bosher ohenhin already.
For that he has to beat Fury.
