Joshua was present for Fury’s return, but Fury said the moment passed without commitment. “He didn’t want no smoke. He didn’t want it. He didn’t look like he wanted it. He didn’t give an answer,” Fury said, describing what he saw when he pushed for confirmation in the ring.
Fury then made his position clear on where the delay sits. “I’ve signed. I signed months ago. Done. Done,” he said, adding that there is little more he can do from his side. “You can take a horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink.”
He also expressed surprise at how the situation played out in real time. “He was brought here tonight ringside for a reason. Get in that ring and make a face-off and get the fight done,” Fury said. “He wasn’t saying yes.”
The 37-year-old narrowed the focus to one name and dismissed all other options. “I’m not interested in Daniel Dubois. I’m not interested in Moses. I’m not interested in all these guys,” Fury said. “I want to fight Anthony Joshua. That’s it.”
He went further, tying his comeback directly to whether the fight happens next. “If it ain’t Anthony Joshua next, I’m not interested in boxing. I’ll eat a thousand Easter eggs, go up to 35 stone. I’m out,” Fury said.
Fury added that he remains ready to move quickly if Joshua agrees, insisting there is no need for further delays given both fighters’ position in the division. “Now’s the time to do it. Let’s get it on,” he said.
The proposed fight has been discussed for years, but remains without confirmation following the latest exchange.
