Joshua offers to spar Fury in advance of Wilder re-match

Anthony Joshua has offered to lend a hand to Tyson Fury ahead of his much-anticipated upcoming re-match with Deontay Wilder.

Joshua wants to eventually face Wilder in a world title unification bout - but that contest doesn't look like happening any time soon.

"I think honestly he might beat Wilder next time," he told Sky Sports News.

"I think Fury would fight me quicker than Wilder would, so if that's the case I want him to win. Imagine that fight on British soil. If Tyson needs me, I'll go out and spar with him to get him ready for Wilder."

The WBA, IBF and WBO champion says a meeting with the American remains his priority:

"It still puzzles me as to why it's so difficult to pin this man down.

"This is the man that I need to pin down to get the last ring, so I can conquer this division, as I've set out to do from day one.

"When he's ready as I am, I would love to be facing off here. Facing off with Deontay Wilder, talking about the keys to victory.

"It's not even about me now, it's gone past that. It's about the sport and our legacy, and I've always said, if he wants to create his legacy and be a future Hall-Of-Famer, he should come see us."
