The fierce attitude from both sides, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, could prevent the British boxing super fight from taking place.
Tyson Fury – the undefeated champion holding the WBC heavyweight title, surprised the entire boxing world when he announced to challenge Anthony Joshua for the next title defense match.
The quick response from Joshua’s side, represented by manager Eddie Hearn, then made fans believe that the “Super Battle of Britain” will take place soon this year.
However, it seems that all developments in the betting are “speeding up” excessively, when Tyson Fury continuously urges Joshua’s side to immediately agree to the terms and have a final answer on the afternoon of the second day. , which is September 26 London time. If not, “The Gypsy King” will look for another opponent.
“Today is the day of decision, are you going to sign or not? When Wilder sent me my first fight contract, I signed it within 24 hours. Yet it’s been 10 days since the contract was sent and you still haven’t signed it. By 5 p.m. on Monday, everything is not done, “The Gypsy King” will find another solution.” – Tyson Fury spoke loudly after the match between Joe Joyce and Joseph Parker last weekend.
This attitude of Tyson Fury immediately made manager Eddie Hearn angry. Sharing with the YouTube channel “Seconds Out”, Hearn affirmed that if Fury continues to have such an attitude, the two sides will not be able to negotiate further.
“There is no way the contract can be signed on Monday, that is not necessary. If he doesn’t want to fight Joshua, which I believe he does, he can do what he wants and disappoint the fans.” – Eddie Hearn asserted.
According to Anthony Joshua’s representative, the contract sent by Tyson Fury’s boss Frank Warren has many complicated points that need to be clarified, and Eddie Hearn’s side will not rush to make a decision.
Previously, Anthony Joshua responded in a video on social networks, saying that he agreed to fight with Fury, but the details of the contract needed to depend on his lawyers.
Anthony Joshua (24 – 3 Boxing) lost to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021, thereby losing 4 WBA Super, WBO, IBF and IBF heavyweight titles. The British boxer continued to fail in the rematch last August, officially falling into a “empty-handed” situation for the second time in his career since 2014.
The match with Tyson Fury (32 – 0 – 1 Boxing) is a rare opportunity for Anthony Joshua to touch the prestigious WBC belt for the first time – something missing in his title collection. Although not highly appreciated when placed next to Tyson Fury, the match with the participation of Anthony Joshua and “The Gypsy King” is still awaited because of the historical achievements of the two boxers.
As for Tyson Fury, after announcing his retirement in April with a knockout of Dillian Whyte, the WBC champion continuously revealed information about challenging Oleksandr Usyk to unify all heavyweight titles. However, with Usyk injured and unable to return this year, Fury actively sought out Anthony Joshua as an alternative.
