Fury (32-0-1) in June said he was "over" boxing but has since
changed his tune, saying he would sign the contract immediately
to take on Joshua (26-2) provided his terms were met.
"The fight has got to be for free," Fury said in an Instagram
post.
"Free to air on television and all tickets go for free. No money
is to be made off of this British, historic fight if it
happens," he said.
"There's the terms, I'm in the driving seat, take it or effing
leave it."
The Gypsy King knocked out fellow Briton Dillian Whyte in April
to retain his title before telling fans he would be sticking to
his promise to his wife to retire.
In June he said he would fight again for 500 million pounds
($600 million).
Fury and Joshua appeared to be on a collision course last year
until an arbitrator ruled Fury had to fight Deontay Wilder for a
third time.
Joshua lost his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts when he fell to
Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in London in September, and the pair
are set to meet for a rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Aug.
20.
