Anthony Joshua Admits He Would Consider Step Aside Money, If The Pay Is Right… To Let Tyson Fury And Oleksandr Usyk Fight

Anthony Joshua has admitted for the first time that he would consider step aside money to clear the way for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to meet in an undisputed world heavyweight title fight.
The Briton has a rematch in place with the Ukrainian, who caused an upset at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this year to take his IBF, WBO and WBA titles.
And Fury has made it known that he would rather face Usyk next than defend his WBC world heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte, who is embroiled in a legal battle with the governing body to sanction himself as mandatory challenger.
But with no date or venue set for the rematch, Joshua has suddenly conceded he would be open to accepting money to wait on the sidelines for the winner of Usyk and Fury.
“Let me be real, it’s not about the money, it’s about the respect. What I want out of this game, number one is respect. You don’t have to like me, but you will respect me. Second thing is to go down as a throwback fighter, somebody who was willing to fight the best in their division so people know me as a true fighter.
“Step aside in terms of, I don’t know if that goes in line with what I morally stand for. But let me be real, I want to be known as one of the smartest businessmen as well.
“I used to watch Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, we all know the stories of NFL players, basketball players, they make bad decisions. I wanted to make sure I make the smart moves when it comes to this business. If the money is right, you have to look at it.
