Tyson Fury admits he wants a future fight with Anthony Joshua and has vowed to 'lay out' his heavyweight rival.

Fury is fully aware of the public demand for a domestic battle with Joshua and is willing to face the unbeaten contender whenever he is ready.

Last November, Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KOs) pulled off the upset of the year when he boxed his way to a twelve round unanimous decision win over heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Germany. The victory gave Fury the WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF heavyweight titles.

An immediate rematch with Klitschko will take place in the coming months. If Fury is able to beat Klitschko for a second time, there will be a whole list of lucrative options in front of him.

The biggest would be a unification with WBC champion Deontay Wilder. In order for that to happen, Wilder has to get through his mandatory defense against Alexander Povetkin.

There is also newly crowned IBF champion Charles Martin. Fury was stripped of the IBF title after failing to agree to make a mandatory defense against Czar Glazkov. The contractual stipulation with Klitschko prevented him from taking any interim-fights before their rematch. Martin stopped Glazkov last Saturday to gain the belt.

There are also some big options at home. If Fury ever decides to forgive him, a showdown with David Haye would be a huge fight. Fury has promised not to face Haye under any circumstances. They were scheduled to fight each other in past, with Haye withdrawing from two dates due to injury.  

Another high profile opportunity would come against Olympic gold medal winner Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15KOs), who holds the British/Commonwealth titles. If that fight would come together, Fury expects no problems with knocking Joshua out.

"That's a fight that I want. It's a fight that Joshua wants. It's a fight Eddie Hearn wants," Fury told Sky Sports. "When Joshua is ready, put him in the ring and I'll lay him out, no bother. It's just a matter of building him up, getting everybody to love him, building a big record and then I'll take it from him and break him in. That's how it goes, unfortunately. Feed him to the lion."
