Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remain in negotiations for heavyweight fight

Tyson Fury publicly criticized Anthony Joshua on Wednesday, labeling his rival a coward as talks for an all-British heavyweight showdown continue. Fury stated he has agreed to potential bouts in several locations, including the United States and the United Kingdom, while alleging that Joshua is delaying the final deal. Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, indicated that the contract is prepared and the decision currently rests with Joshua’s team. A primary point of disagreement remains the venue, as organizers explore options outside of the UK despite pressure to host the event domestically. Both fighters were active in July, with Fury defeating Mariusz Wach and Joshua recording a knockout victory over Kristian Prenga. The status of the fight remains pending as discussions between the two camps proceed.
