Anthony Joshua has posted his reaction to his fight against Tyson Fury now being official.
Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua was finally made official this Thursday morning, with the fight heading to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on December 11.
It seemed as though the fight was never going to come to fruition as Fury declared the fight was off recently after the negotiations stalled regarding the location.
And now with the saga having finally come to an end, Anthony Joshua has sent a message to his longtime rival ahead of their long-awaited clash.
Is Tyson Fury done at the top level?
Joshua claims he pulled the strings in negotiations with Fury
In the press release that was released this Thursday morning, it was revealed that Dana White will co-promote the event alongside His Excellency Turki Alalshikh.
Throughout the negotiations, White was targeting New York for the all-British clash, which caused a lot of uproar amongst combat sports fans, specifically from England.
Despite that, with the fight now landing in Cardiff, AJ has sent a message to ‘The Gypsy King’, claiming that he and his team pulled the strings of the negotiations.
“The quietest ones often pull the strings. Those who appear least involved may hold the greatest control. Let them shout first, the wisest wait until the final move. Yours truly, Anthony Joshua,” the former champ said in a post on Instagram.
At this point, it is still unclear what sort of role Joshua’s right-hand-man Eddie Hearn will play in this fight if he will play a role in it at all.
Who else could end up fighting on the Fury vs. Joshua undercard?
With the event now finally official to take place on December 11 on Netflix, the undercard is expected to begin taking shape now.
This Thursday morning before the official announcement, it was revealed that Manny Pacquiao is in talks to fight Shakur Stevenson on the event in a possible co-headliner fight.
Not only that, but Jack Catterall also recently called out Teofimo Lopez for a title fight on that card after he was announced by the WBA as the mandatory challenger.
