Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight date, venue and everything we know so far

Tyson Fury called out Anthony Joshua on social media on Monday afternoon, paving the way for the WBC Heavyweight World Champion to face his long-time heavyweight rival.

A battle of Britain for the WBC championship of the world; if you're not interested, let me know and I'll select another opponent."

Joshua has now responded by saying that he will
