With Fury reportedly free to take on a fight other than Deontay Wilder, Joshua is keeping his eyes on the prize. <\/p>\n
Anthony Joshua has heard all of the back-and-forth reports which suggest that Tyson Fury\u2019s contract for a third fight against Deontay Wilder has expired<\/a>, but isn\u2019t letting that get him too excited for a potential undisputed heavyweight title unification. <\/p>\n In fact, Joshua says he doesn\u2019t even really want to talk too much about Fury at this time, not looking to piggyback off his name<\/a> while he\u2019s headed towards an IBF title defense against Kubrat Pulev.<\/p>\n \u201cThe situation with him and Wilder, now he\u2019s up in the air, what he\u2019s doing. It\u2019s just a bit of a circus going on. When it\u2019s solidified, you\u2019ll hear it from me. Until then, I\u2019m not really into the whole circus act and trying to promote my name off his back and him doing the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Joshua still remains keen on facing Fury, though, but knows he can\u2019t afford anymore slip-ups like the one he had against Andy Ruiz last year. And in that very real sense, all his hopes to fully unify the heavyweight division depend on him getting past Pulev first, saying Pulev is standing in the way of his \u2018pot of gold.\u2019<\/p>\n\n
