Mayweather said while speaking on the Disruptive Entrepreneur podcast while Complete Sports reported it saying:

“I look forward to working with Joshua real soon, we talk all the time,”

“It’s a very interesting fight. Anthony has a lot of experience and Tyson Fury as well has a lot of experience but with Anthony Joshua losing a fight [to Andy Ruiz Jr], it helped him become stronger.

”I met Tyson Fury on a few occasions; he’s a great guy and very interesting. After the fight I like to see him sing… I haven’t seen him fight a lot of times.

“I’ve seen him fight twice, against Deontay Wilder, but it’s a very intriguing match-up. You can never say what’s going to happen in the sport of boxing. Both guys are great competitors.”

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn announced on Monday, March 15 that his client and Fury have finally reached an agreement to face-off in a two-match deal but the place and time have not been agreed on.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have been urged to decide where they want to face-off in the next 30 days or their much-anticipated unification bout will never happen.

The 31-year-old is throwing his WBA, IBF, and WBO belts in line in a bid to become the unified heavyweight champion.

Definitely, the Gypsy King is also eyeing all the titles Joshua currently holds and the Britons have been talking tough ahead of the fight.
