Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury - It's the potential fight everybody is talking about.

The likes of Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder and even David Haye have been named among Joshua's possible opponents, but what we all want to see is Tyson 'Gypsy King' Fury in a ring with the WBA and IBF heavyweight champion.

The 26-year-old, who defeated Carlos Takam in a 10th round stoppage on Saturday night, has since revealed promoter Eddie Hearn has spoken to Fury about possible bout between the pair.

Speaking to Sky Sports News earlier, Joshua admitted that he is keen to fight Fury in the future.

Of course, Fury must wait on a ruling from UKAD on a suspected drugs ban, but a potential fight has been spoken about by Joshua and Hearn - a sure sign that this could in fact happen.

"It's Anthony Joshua versus the world right now, I have got to fight them all!" he told Sky Sports News

"Eddie [Hearn] is right, as a promoter it works well for him, it works well for me and I think it works well for people who want to watch me and Tyson Fury get it on.

"I wish him the best of luck with what he's going through because we need to see him back in the ring.

"Eddie has been on the phone to Tyson, trying to make things happen and support his cause. This is a fight, down the line, that might happen.

"At the minute, the fighters who are closer on a championship level are the likes of Joseph Parker and Deontay Wilder.

"When I put myself in line to become a champion, there come obligations with it," he added. "If I have a voluntary, then I can fight with who my manager and promoter work with.

"If not, I have to fulfil my mandatories or, if I fight whoever I want to fight, I would have to give up the belts to be and then I can be a free man to do what I want."
