The planned fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could once again be about to fall by the wayside.
Fury and Joshua had been expected to finally meet in November, but issues surrounding the location for the bout means that it is still yet to be formally agreed.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has been vocal about what needs to be resolved in order to proceed with the fight in America, but now Fury has spoken out and cast doubt on whether it will now go ahead at all.
Posting on social media, Fury revealed that “it doesn’t look like” the fight is going to happen.
“Quick update for you. It doesn’t look like they’re going to sign the fight. It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. All because Eddie Hearn and that want more money.
“They’ve already had that much money from Turki in the last few years Eddie and AJ, they’ve had boxing deals, they’ve had darts deals, they’ve had snooker deals, they’ve had everything, and yet they’ve got the audacity and cheek to ask for more money from Turki.
“All this talk of wanting the fight in England, we want this we want that, it’s only to get more money to go to America. I’ve bent over backwards to make this fight happen. First of all it was England, then it was in Ireland, then it was in America, I said I’ll go anywhere.”
Fury then stated that if not Joshua, he will fight somebody else later this year.
“I’m not interested in where the fight is, I just want to fight, I’m match fit, I’ve had two fights this year, I’m ready to rock and roll baby. If you don’t want to get it on I’ll fight somebody else in November. It doesn’t matter.”
With the November fight date fast approaching, a final decision on whether or not the Fury vs Joshua fight will take place will have to be decided soon.
