WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has now set his sights on Anthony Joshua for a match. Fury was initially keen to take on the man who beat Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed title bout. However, the parties could not agree on a date and the potential fight fell through.

It looks like the tide has now shifted where the discussion is not anymore about Fury and Usyk but Fury vs. Joshua. The Gypsy King initially offered to fight Joshua with an 80-20 revenue split but made it 60-40 after receiving backlash from fans.
Moreover, it seems like he has now gone a step further in calling ‘AJ’ out for a match after getting a professional impersonator to hilariously ask Joshua for a fight. Fury recently posted an Instagram story with impressionist Al Foran who proceeded to hilariously call out Joshua in Donald Trump’s voice.

In a hilarious skit, Fury refers to Foran as Trump and asks him to share his thoughts on the ‘AJ’ fight. “I Am Just Here With Donald Trump, What Do You Think Donald About This Fight With AJ?” asked Fury
Foran then claimed that Fury’s 60-40 was more than fair in an uncanny Donald Trump voice. “It’s gonna happen I mean it’s a lot of pressure on AJ you gotta sign the contract 60-40. It’s very fair, it’s extremely fair, sign the contract,” said Foran.

Following this Foran went on to do a bunch of other impressions, including boxing legend Mike Tyson, Al Hamon, and Fury’s dad as well. This might not be the best way to call out Joshua however, it was certainly the most fun. Fury will be hoping that these antics could eventually get Joshua to agree to a fight as soon as possible.

The Gypsy King recently announced that he was not willing to move the fight to December if it happens. He took to social media and stated that he did not hear back from Joshua about his offer and was now going to make a video every hour until he heard an answer. “AJ, I’ve not heard from you at all. You’ve never said you want this fight or you don’t. I’m going to do a video every hour of the day until you agree so let us know.” He said.
