\"Anthony<\/a>Anthony Joshua called out Tyson Fury this week Photo Credit: Mark Robinson\/Matchroom Boxing\/Stephen Dunkley\/Queensberry Eddie Hearn remains hopeful that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will finally meet next year.<\/p>\n

Joshua sent an uncharacteristically vocal message to Fury on social media on Tuesday calling for the pair to settle a more than a decade-long rivalry.<\/p>\n

Hours after his former opponent Joseph Parker<\/a> came face-to-face with Fabio Wardley for the first time at a launch press conference in London to announce their October 25 showdown, \u2018AJ\u2019 took to social media to praise the New Zealander whilst also taking a swipe at \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of Joe Parker, even though he is a competitor,\u201d the 35-year-old said on Instagram<\/p>\n

\u201cReal recognises real.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in the game to fight whoever, whenever and that\u2019s the DNA of a real general.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike his dippy mate Tyson Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury announced his retirement in January after a second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n

The Morecambe man told media including Pro Boxing Fans<\/a> in July that he would return for a third fight with the Ukrainian, who reclaimed the undisputed heavyweight crown with a fifth round knockout of Daniel Dubois in July.<\/p>\n

However, the 37-year-old appeared to change his mind<\/a> last month, insisting he would \u201cnever\u201d return to the ring.<\/p>\n

Joshua was in talks to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, but the Ohio man opted to face lightweight champion, Gervonta Davis in what is expected to be an exhibition on November 14 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

In his most vocal callout to date, the 35-year-old Watford man eyed a long-awaited clash with his countryman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would [discredit] his career\/record in minutes, but I\u2019ll leave that for a potential\u00a0Gloves Are Off\u00a0if he ever comes back and fights Big Femi [Joshua].<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my supporters, I\u2019ll be back to lace up my boots and put on my gloves sooner than later, hopefully punching Fury\u2019s head in and dancing round his flicker jab with ease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on Instagram on the callout, Hearn said: \u201cBiggest fight in boxing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay 2026 be the year they dance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Joshua called out Tyson Fury this week Photo Credit: Mark Robinson\/Matchroom Boxing\/Stephen Dunkley\/Queensberry Eddie Hearn remains hopeful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[8075,64,63,802,9915,17734,85,8691],"class_list":{"0":"post-133254","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-anthony-joshua","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-boxing","12":"tag-eddie-hearn","13":"tag-joseph-parker","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tyson-fury"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
