Tyson Fury is coming back

But many boxing fans believe the one man who can truly challenge Joshua is Tyson Fury.

The Gypsy King, who is currently locked in a battle with the British Boxing Board of Control and UK Anti-Doping over his license, has vowed to return next year following a lengthy hiatus from the sport.

And Fury said he would “deal with” Joshua in an open letter to his last opponent, Wladimir Klitschko.

“I'm going to deal with your little brother AJ in the same fashion as I dealt with you, play with the bit*h,” Fury wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “Kind regards the champ.”

What a thrilling year we have in store.

Frank Bruno offers his thoughts on Joshua v Fury 

Former world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno is among those who wants to see Joshua versus Fury happen and, like many boxing fans, he believes a fully fit Fury can cause AJ problems.

“I think everyone, myself included, would love to see Anthony Joshua against Tyson Fury,” Bruno said, per the Mirror. “It would be the biggest fight for many, many years in this country.

“But it is important Tyson is ready for it. It has been reported he is back in training and that is great to hear.

"Tyson has had some troubles in the past but everyone just wants to see him get better and back to his very best.

"A fully fit Tyson Fury would give Anthony all-sorts of problems.”

Many fans agree with Bruno

That idea is felt by many boxing fans, as these tweets show.

Joshua is 20-0, Fury is 25-0. What a great fight it would be.
