“Well, guys,” WBC and heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury said in an Instagram announcement Monday, “it’s official. D-day has come and gone. It’s past 5 o’clock on Monday. No contract has been signed”. Of course, Fury is referring to a potential December fight between him and former heavyweight champion athlete Anthony Joshua. Fury has given Joshua until Monday to officially sign for a fight in December. Joshua and his team said they liked what they saw from Camp Fury, but they needed more time to screen their muscles. fine prints. “Of course, I will sign the contract,” Joshua announced on social media. “Just with some lawyers at the moment.”
That doesn’t seem good enough for Fury, who now says the high-fight won’t happen – at least not in December. “I’ve always known you don’t have enough minerals to fight the Gypsy King. ,” Fury said. “Good luck with your career and life.” Tough talk for sure, but it should be noted that Joshua’s camp believes negotiations are still ongoing. The same thing, believe it or not, also applies to Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren. “We’re trying to make it work,” Warren said talkSPORT“And we had a nice meeting today, so we’ll see what happens.”
If there’s one thing about Fury being unpredictable, it’s that he’s always been unpredictable. The undefeated title surprised a lot of people when, shortly after Joshua lost to Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch late last summer, he offered to fight his British colleague in a sixty forty split. . It seems too good to be true, and perhaps it is. However, Fury could decide to change his mind about the deadline if he learns that Team Joshua is pretty serious about meeting him in the ring in December.
A frank Fury vs Joshua showdown has been going on for a long time. In fact, just last year, two Britons prepared to fight in the Middle East. However, a judge’s ruling led to a highly anticipated duel to take place. Fury obeyed the judge’s verdict and fought Deontay Wilder for the third time in a great fight that saw Fury take down the American strongman. However, things did not go well for Joshua, who eventually lost the heavyweight title to Oleksandr Usyk. The Londoners have only fought once since then – again against Usyk, who defeated him again a few weeks ago.
