Tyson Fury issues challenge to British star as he looks to make a return
Tyson Fury has his eyes firmly set on an all-British super fight with Anthony Joshua in the future as he’s decided to get back in fighting shape.
Fury, who hasn’t stepped in a ring since 2015, had fallen massively out of shape and his request to have his boxing licence was rejected by the BBoC.
However, he’s been back in training for a few weeks and is hoping to have a few fights before potentially stepping in the ring with Joshua.
He took to Twitter to ask fans who they’d like him to fight before challenging David Price, who beat Fury when the pair were amateurs.
Price accepted the challenge and it looks like the pair could step into the ring in the future, if Fury can resolve his issue with the BBoC.

let's do it. 'Easy' one back for you. Massive opportunity for me and anything could happen ?

Fury would, obviously, be the huge favourite in the fight but for him it would be a chance to get rid of some ring rust.
For Price, it will be an amazing chance to shock the British boxing community and also to earn a nice pay day.
