Tyson Fury has taken to social to respond to IBF and WBA 'super' heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and says a bout between the pair is a fight "the world wants to see".
Speaking to Sky Sports this week, Joshua said he is targeting a November bout with either Wladimir Klitschko or Kubrat Pulev, but also gave a special mention to the still undefeated Fury.
Fury held the lineal titles in 2015 before he was stripped of his IBF crown for not defending it against his mandatory challenger.
He was later stripped of his titles as he took a break from the sport amid illness and charged with a failed doping test.
Joshua told Sky: "I listen to what people want. Tyson makes a lot of noise and he's made it clear that he wants to fight me.
"Now, I'm in a position that I can say: 'Tyson when you're back, I'm interested, so let's live up to what people want to see us do'. That's why he's top of my list.
"In the UK, Tyson Fury. Internationally, my pick would be [Deontay] Wilder."
Speaking in a video posted on his Instagram account on Tuesday, Fury said: "People do want to see the fight between you and me, AJ. The world wants to see it because I'm still the lineal heavyweight champion and everybody knows that.
"I walked away from boxing because I wasn't interested. There were no challenges there. I played with the best man there was.
"Now that I've been out two years, there seems to be a few more challenges. People think that you can beat me, I don't think you can personally. Let me get my situation on track, get fit and I'll fight you. May the best man win."
