AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Anthony Joshua has restated his commitment to a world heavyweight title showdown with Tyson Fury and indicated the prospective super-fight could take place in June.<\/p>\n

Joshua was criticised by Fury for allegedly not showing enough commitment to the contest after his stoppage win over Kubrat Pulev this month.<\/p>\n

But the 31-year-old has confirmed talks are under way and he is unconcerned over where the fight would take place, with Britain looking increasingly unlikely.<\/p>\n

Joshua told Sky Sports News: \u201cI\u2019m ready, I\u2019m keen. The next fight I want is Tyson Fury, for the undisputed championship of the world. \u201cI\u2019m having direct conversations now with my management team looking at the best way to put a package together for 2021 and hopefully it will be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked when and where he expected the fight to take place, he added: \u201cI think maybe June. It needs a bit of time. I promise you conversations and face-to-face meetings are happening with representatives of my team and Tyson Fury\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe possibilities of it being in this country are down to the pandemic and how that shapes. For me I am not too fussed where it is. I just want the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
