Tyson Fury wants to take up Anthony Joshua’s offer to spar with him as he prepares for a February rematch with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

The Brit and the American will face each other again on February 22 after fighting out a thrilling draw last December where Fury made a remarkable recovery to beat the count after a 12th round knockdown.

Fury posted on Instagram yesterday “I would love to have you in camp, work out for this fight and give Deontay Wilder a proper beating.”

Joshua beat Andy Ruiz Jr this month in their rematch to reclaim the IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO titles.

He made the offer as he said the 31-year-old would be more likely to agree to fight him at a later date.

Joshua told Sky Sports News that he honestly thinks Fury might beat Wilder this time around.
