Anthony Joshua Calls Out Tyson Fury Immediately After Jake Paul KO
Anthony Joshua wasted no time shifting the spotlight after stopping Jake Paul with a sixth-round knockout, turning his attention straight toward a long-rumoured heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury. Speaking moments after the fight, Joshua delivered a fiery message that reignited one of boxing’s most talked-about rivalries and sent fans into a frenzy.
The bout with Paul had only just concluded when Joshua made it clear that he was not interested in celebrating crossover victories or online hype. Instead, he used the moment to challenge a fellow heavyweight star who has been dominating conversations on social media rather than inside the ring. For Joshua, the message was simple: if Fury is serious, it is time to fight.

Joshua Sends a Direct Message to Fury
Joshua did not hold back when addressing Tyson Fury, calling out what he sees as excessive talk without action.
“If Tyson Fury is as serious as he thinks he is, and he wants to put down his Twitter fingers and put on some gloves and come and fight one of the realest fighters out there that will take on any challenge, step into the ring with me next if you’re a real bad boy,” Joshua said.
“Don’t do all that talking, ‘AJ this, AJ that’. Let’s see you in the ring and talk with your fists.”
The comments immediately struck a chord, especially given the long history between the two British heavyweights. Fans have spent years calling for a clash between Joshua and Fury, a fight that at one point felt inevitable but repeatedly failed to materialise due to promotional issues, timing, and public back-and-forth.
For Anthony Joshua, the call-out felt like a statement of intent. Fresh off a knockout win, he appeared eager to prove that he remains at the elite level of the heavyweight division and is willing to face any challenge placed in front of him.
Joshua’s frustration also reflects a wider sentiment within boxing, where major fights often stall while fighters exchange words online. His message was not just aimed at Fury personally, but at the culture of talking rather than fighting.
Whether Fury responds with action remains to be seen, but Joshua’s post-fight words have once again put pressure on boxing’s biggest names to deliver the fights fans have been demanding for years.
