‘If I was Anthony Joshua, I’d keep away from Tyson Fury’ – Amir Khan warns AJ about danger of undisputed fight against British rival

Amir Khan has advised Anthony Joshua to stay well away from Tyson Fury.

The British heavyweight champions were all-but-set to meet in an undisputed bout this summer, only for Deontay Wilder's arbitration victory to scupper these plans.

It appears that Khan believes this was a blessing in disguise for Joshua.

When asked for his thoughts on AJ, Khan told the : "He's a beast, heavyweight champion.

"But a lot of people say, 'Is he gonna beat Tyson Fury?'

"I think that could be one of the hardest fights he ever has.

"If I was Anthony Joshua, I'd keep away from Tyson Fury."

Now, Fury will face Wilder again on July 24.

Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has been ordered to defend against WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk.

Terms are agreed for this bout, with Eddie Hearn having confirmed that September 25 is set to be the date.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the likely venue - with Spurs playing away at Arsenal that weekend.

Should AJ and Fury both win, they could move forwards with their plans for an undisputed bout once more.
