Tyson Fury ready to fight Anthony Joshua next

British professional boxer Tyson Fury has ended his social media blackout and explained why possible opponents for a summer fight have backed out.

Since defeating longtime buddy Derek Chisora three times in December of last year, Fury hasn't competed in the ring.

The Gypsy King was expected to compete against Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title.

However, the Ukrainian team withdrew because of financial difficulties with the rematch, and the battle was called off at the last minute.

Fury's UK promoter, Frank Warren, acknowledged that it was difficult to match the WBC champion with a summer opponent.

The favorite at one point was the Mexican professional boxer Andy Ruiz Jr., but Warren eliminated him because of his unreasonable money demands.

Tyson Fury recently said on Instagram that he is prepared to take on a number of heavyweight challengers, including a British professional boxer of Nigerian descent Anthony Joshua.

He said, “I’ve been off Instagram for a while, I’ve been on holiday, I’ve been chilling, I’ve been training, I’ve been eating. 

"Just want to say to everybody that I want to knock all these motherf**ker’s out. I’ve not fought since December through no fault of my own.

"I’ve tried to fight Usyk and he’s not wanting anything, I’ve tried to fight AJ, he don’t want no smoke.

"Andy Ruiz has asked for $ 20 million, silly little b**tard I don’t know where he’s getting that from.

"Zhang was a good little fight but Joyce wants his rematch so that’s not happening now.

"I’m looking to fight anybody, any place, I cannot wait to fight Usyk, AJ, I’m f**king you up because I am the baddest motherf**ker on the planet.”

Joshua is reportedly in negotiations to fight American professional boxer of Nigerian descent Deontay Wilder.
