They looked on course to do so next year with a double header - from Saudi Arabia to London - being put together behind the scenes.

But AJ looks to have blown it after suffering a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.

Fury meanwhile rematches Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 following his undisputed title loss in May.

But the Gypsy King, 36, warned Joshua there is no way out of their Battle of Britain - which will commence sooner or later.

He said ahead of the console release of : "Joshua, he knows he's getting it.

"Even if we're 50 years old he's got to fight me. There's no escaping it, he cannot escape me.

"Even if we are 50, we're still going to sell out Wembley. That is a fact, and anybody they can all get it."

Usyk, 37, became the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion in history when he took Fury's WBC belt and unbeaten record.
