Joshua was speaking at a press conference after the fight. He said he is interested in the fight with Fury after losing his belts, according to reports from Sky Sports on Sunday, September 26th, 2021.
Usyk ripped Joshua off his WBA, IBF, WBO belts after a fantastic fight, which lead to a unanimous decision by the judges at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The road to undisputed and all that stuff, it's good. As I said, I'll fight Tyson Fury or Wilder without the belts. The belts are fun. It's great, it's legacy. But with or without the belts, I will fight whoever. The road to undisputed is a nice title to have a nice title to chase.

I'm ready to get back to training. Because of the 12 rounds, my lungs and everything, it was a good 12-rounder, so I'll be in a good place when I get back into training to pick up where we left off.
