Anthony Joshua Calls Out Tyson Fury on Video After KO of Jake Paul in Boxing Fight

Anthony Joshua took some time to call out Tyson Fury after his sixth-round knockout victory over Jake Paul on Friday night.

"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 in the ring with me next if you're a real bad boy," Joshua said immediately after defeating Paul. "Don't do all that talking, 'AJ this, AJ that.' Let's see you in the ring and talk with your fists."

On Jan. 13, Fury announced that he was retiring from boxing. He's widely expected to come out of retirement in 2026, though.

Fury previously took aim at Joshua after his declaration that "if I can kill you, I will kill you" ahead of his fight with Paul.

"He's a little bit long in the tooth to be talking s--t like that," Fury said in a post on his Instagram story (h/t ESPN). "He's 37-years-old, at the end of his career, fighting a YouTuber, a Disney channel guy, who Tommy [Fury] beat."

"Here's a fun fact -- if I ever come across you bum, I'm knocking you dead spark out," he added. "I ain't a YouTuber or a man half your size. I am him, the man. You're a classless loser coming off a 15-month knockout defeat to a local lad [Daniel Dubois]."

Joshua and Fury are reportedly being lined up for a fight as part of Riyadh Season in 2026. If the bout is made official, both boxers would participate in separate fights earlier in the year before finally meeting up.

With the win over Paul, Joshua improved to 29-4 with 26 knockouts. Meanwhile, Fury is 34-2-1 with 24 knockouts.

The two former heavyweight champions have yet to face off in their careers.
