Anthony Joshua has made zero contact with Tyson Fury over Wembley title fight, claims Frank Warren

Joshua, 29, is pencilled in to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight world titles on April 13, at Wembley Stadium – yet an opponent is still to be finalised.

Hearn, who has promoted AJ since he turned professional in 2013, has made it clear he and Joshua wish to fight WBC king Deontay Wilder, 33, next.

Although Hearn has also expressed his interest in having Fury, who drew against Wilder in December, face Joshua at Wembley.

Hearn even teased that Fury, 30, has even text him about the Joshua fight, though Warren told IFL TV that there has been no discussion between the two camps regarding the domestic superfight.

Warren said: “We’re certainly not having any conversations with Anthony Joshua because no one ever contacts us.

“All we do is read things, Hearn saying he’s been talking to him and tweeting him.

“As it stands now we’ve had zero with regards to any communication. Nothing at all.”

Fury was unfortunate not to walk away with Wilder’s WBC title when the Gypsy King traveled over to LA last year, as the Gypsy King was on the end of a contentious split-decision draw.

Warren confirmed securing the immediate rematch against Wilder is their priority.

Although the promoter did concede that a showdown between the unbeaten British duo of Joshua and Fury would make a ‘great fight’.

Warren added: “At the end of the day, (if Team Joshua) want to do anything, they got our number, just pick the phone up because that's where it starts – it’s here.

“We will then pass on whatever the discussions are to Tyson to make a decision, but that’s where it’s at.

“That’s again is a great fight, but we’re focused at the moment on Deontay Wilder but him and Joshua is a great fight. There’s no doubt about it.”
