Tyson Fury has accepted a helping hand from Anthony Joshua ahead of his Deontay Wilder rematch.<\/p>\n

“The Gypsy King” first fought Wilder in 2018. The fight ended via a controversial split draw. Now, Fury is scheduled to face the WBC heavyweight champion for a second time on February 22.<\/p>\n

The current WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champion, Anthony Joshua believes the fellow Brit has a good chance of beating Wilder in their rematch, and is willing to train with him to help him prepare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think honestly he might beat Wilder next time,” Joshua told Sky Sports (via RT<\/a>). “I think Fury would fight me quicker than Wilder would, so, if that\u2019s the case, I want him to win. Imagine that fight on British soil. If Tyson needs me, I\u2019ll go out and spar with him to get him ready for Wilder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on social media, Fury responded to this offer, saying he’d welcome the opportunity to spar with his fellow British boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just seen the video of Joshua on Sky Sport saying he\u2019d love to come and help me in camp and that I\u2019d fight him quicker than Wilder, that\u2019s for sure,” Fury said. “When I beat Wilder I will fight you AJ, no problem.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to have you in camp, really really love to have in camp, work out for this fight and give Deontay Wilder a proper beating. I hope you mean it because I\u2019d love to have you in training camp with me. Thanks very much by the way and well done for your last fight. Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua recently competed in his own rematch. On December 7 in Saudi Arabia, he faced Andy Ruiz Jr. for a second time. Joshua outboxed the Mexican former champ to a decision win, <\/a>avenging\u00a0his shocking TKO loss to Ruiz Jr in June, and reclaiming the WBA,\u00a0IBF,\u00a0WBO\u00a0and\u00a0IBO heavyweight titles.<\/p>\n

Now, the Joshua is itching to fight Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury in a boxing mega-fight. As aforementioned, he believes Wilder is ducking the matchup, and he has a better chance of facing Fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt still puzzles me as to why it\u2019s so difficult to pin this man down,\u201d Joshua told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the man I need to pin down to get the last ring and conquer this division. When he\u2019s ready, as I am, I would love to be here talking about Deontay Wilder and the keys to victory.”<\/p>\n

Do you think Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will end up training together?<\/p>\n
