Fury desperate to give fans Anthony Joshua showdown – and just hopes Wilder and Pulev don’t stop them getting clash on

TYSON FURY has told Anthony Joshua not to blow it when he takes on Kubrat Pulev - or their mega-millions face-off could go up in smoke.

The two men are set to stage a 'Battle of Britain' clash next year.

But first, AJ must win his rescheduled fight with Bulgarian Pulev, 39.

The Gypsy King, 31, must also triumph in his third match with Deontay Wilder or his AJ match-up could once again be put back.

The Mancunian had hoped to take on Joshua, 30, after he destroyed Wilder in Las Vegas earlier this year.

But when Wilder triggered a rematch clause that hope bit the dust.

AJ's shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr, despite being avenged in December, also put a spanner in the works.

The coronavirus has added to further delays and there remain doubts over whether both AJ's and Fury's fights will go ahead this year.

WBO, WBA and IBF champion Joshua and WBC holder Fury will surely go ahead in 2021 to try and unify the belts, possibly in Saudi Arabia.

But Fury has warned that both men cannot afford to jeopardise their clash which will earn millions in pay-per-view hits.

He told Sky Sports: "If I get knocked out by Deontay Wilder, then it won't be on, will it.

"It will be another fight with Wilder and so forth and so on. If he loses to Pulev, so close, but so far away.

"In heavyweight boxing, you can never count your chickens before they hatch, so one fight at a time. One victory at a time.

"All going well, God willing, we get on the big fight with me and Joshua, the all-British showdown and I can give the fans what they want to see, especially the British fans.

"It will be the biggest fight since I believe Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno."
