I want to fight Tyson Fury – Joshua
Anthony Joshua has refused to rule out a British full-weight bout against Tyson Fury despite his complications to return to the ring, reports The Independent.

Fury's latest fight, a blatant win to snatch Wladimir Klitschko's heavyweight title, was in November 2015 and has since been stripped of his license by the British Boxing Control Board.
Joshua, who is defending his IBF and WBA titles against Carlos Takam in Cardiff on Saturday, said he would like a fight if Fury can get in shape.
"If you want to fight and get your license with 30 or 40 stones, if you want to get into the ring and show that you can move and control that weight, people will watch you."
"What was the weight of his fight (Fury) - 18 stones? Even if he returned to 22 kilos, (George) Foreman came back bigger when he was at his best," added Joshua.
Fury, 29, previously flirted with the idea of getting into the ring with "bodybuilder" Joshua and said he would eliminate the "division fraud."
"It's what you call a boxer's dream," Fury told BBC 5 live in May. "I've never been more confident or serious when I say something, I'll play Joshua like a cat with a ball of wool, with my hands behind my back, making a good pitcher of it."
It is not yet known if Fury could get in shape to fight, but Joshua feels a return to the ring could be more troublesome than he expects.
"If he comes back with that weight and is getting into trouble with the officials, then people will not be interested. That's how he behaves in his new weight."
After lighting up the sport with his Klitschko envelope, Joshua will not be held back by unreasonable demands to unify belts according to his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
(Kubrat Pulev or Takam are fine for their defense of a title after Klitschko, but if it was someone like (Fres) Oquendo, we could say, 'Nobody wants to see that fight.' "
"The goal is to fight three times next year, ideally in March, April or in the summer in December," Hearn added. "In a perfect world, two of the three fights would be for the extra belts, in any order."
