Joshua was brutally beaten by Daniel Dubois last year, but called out Fury for a huge all-British clash.

But the 'Gypsy King' announced his retirement from the sport, leaving Joshua out in the cold for now.

Several alternative options remain on the table which could include a sequel with Parker for a WBO interim title or a full world title.

Joshua is still several weeks away from beginning a training camp for a return, struggling with pre-existing injuries.

But he is expected to target the biggest commercial fight available upon his return.

Fury is currently not entertaining talks of a fight with Joshua publicly, and is focusing on other exploits including a manager role at charity football match Soccer Aid.

And his co-promoter Bob Arum believes it is best that Fury stays retired and doesn't reconsider a clash with Joshua.

“I think Tyson Fury owes it to himself and his family to remain happily retired," he said.
