ANTHONY JOSHUA accepted Tyson Fury’s offer to train him, and even wants SPAR for his heavyweight opponent.
They were all set to fight this summer. However, Fury was instead ordered by an arbitrator not to honor his contract for a trilogy with Deontay wilder.
Tyson Fury has offered to train Anthony Joshua

Later, he scored a dramatic 11th-round KO of Wilder (36), but Joshua (32) was defeated two weeks prior by Oleksandr Uzyk.
Fury, 33, offered to coach AJ along with SugarHill Stewards for Joshua's upcoming rematch against Usyk, 34.
The former champion welcomed the Gypsy King to his camp, and even offered to share the ring behind closed doors.
Joshua iFL TV: "Yeah lovely mate. He doesn't need any money to do it. I don't know if it's a bid for a few quids.
"He is more than welcome to visit the doors. He can even spar with us. It's important that I have a coach who has lived it and breathed it so it's perfect.
"That'll make it the easiest way to get him into the ring. Eddie [Hearn] and I will set up a camera. We'll also have a few cameras to run it on Facebook or YouTube.
Joshua has sparred Fury once, in a now-famous 2010 session while he was still an amateur.
AJ offered his services as a sparring partner last year, before Wilder beat Gypsy King in their rematch. However, it didn't materialize.
Joshua is a passionate boxing historian and doesn't fear welcoming Fury to his camp.
He stated, "I'm looking at pictures with Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis, Archie Moore and Muhammad Ali all sitting together in each other's training camps.
"I feel like I've been tuckedaway a lot. Come to my training camp and see what the heavyweight champion does.
"Tyson can certainly come and watch me train, 100 percent.
"Sparring isn't fighting so he can certainly come in, and he's more then welcome to walk in to the gym to give me tips.
"I won't fight him next anyway, so he has nothing to worry about."
