Tyson Fury holds talks with Anthony Joshua over September fight as he looks to secure biggest bout in British boxing

TYSON FURY has ordered a September showdown with Anthony Joshua as well as a couple of Australia fights.

The 34-year-old WBC Gypsy King was Down Under last week, calling on earners with Aussie unknowns Demsey McKean and Jai Opetaia.

And now his Queensberry promoters have once again reached out to AJ to see if he can be tempted into the biggest fight in British boxing.

The pair failed to secure a December fight last year and Fury has pulled out of Sping Saudi Arabia and Wembley undisputed deciders with Oleksandr Usyk.

But the undefeated 6ft 9in Morecambe mastermind has been out of action since December and needs a payday.

US promoter Bob Arum admitted this week, while in Belfast to promote another show, that the giant showman was impossible to guide or control.

But now the chance of an overdue Fury vs AJ spectacular has been reviisited, with Fury matchmaker George Warren contacting AJ man Eddie Hearn to briefly discuss a monumental bout.

Fury was tipped to fight Usyk for the four-belt decider in Saudi Decemeber – with AJ and Deontay Wilder to meet in a fantasy four-man spectacle that same night.

That dream appears to be fading so Fury has told his team to explore the biggest money options and AJ remains the most golden goose in the game.

But fans are unlikely to get excited after so many dull disappointments.
