Post Deadline, Tyson Fury Gives Another Chance to ‘Coward’ Anthony Joshua for Mega-Fight: ‘The Ball Is Really in Your Court’

The saga between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former champion Anthony Joshua doesn’t seem to be reaching a conclusion. The pair were in talks of a potential bout after Fury offered Joshua a 60-40 revenue split after his fight with Usyk got called off. However, according to The Gypsy King, Joshua is yet to sign the contract and make the fight official.

Fury has also constantly been calling out ‘AJ’ asking him to sign the contract after claiming to have agreed with all of Joshua’s demands. Now the heavyweight champion has to give Joshua one final chance to make this fight happen.

Tyson Fury gives one last chance to Anthony Joshua

Fury recently uploaded a video addressing all the issues raised by fans and Joshua’s camp about the contract negotiations. He stated that he had already extended the deadline from Monday at the request of his promoter. Moreover, he added that the broadcasting companies have all agreed to the terms.

“Right Anthony Joshua, where do we start? So the deadline was Monday. Frank Warren asked me and convinced me to let you carry on for a couple of days. Today is Thursday and even though I knew you wouldn’t sign this contract, I allowed Frank to continue during meetings with broadcasters and all that. Now I’ve been told that Bt Dazn and ESPN are all happy ready to rock and roll.” he said in the video.

However, despite all this Fury is still willing to give ‘AJ’ another chance to sign the contract. Fury claimed that Joshua has already had the contract for over two weeks and needs to sign it quickly if he had any integrity left as a boxer. “Joshua, the ball is really in your court so everybody’s done. If you’re a man and if you’ve got any sort of dignity or pride you’ll get the contract signed today. This is it. There are no more days weeks months you’ve had the contract now for over 2 weeks and you should have signed it. Show the public that you’re really a  big coward.” he added.

This was not all as he uploaded a tweet claiming that Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, was in talks with AJ for a fight against Fury’s former rival, Deontay Wilder.

Lastly, he even took shots at Usyk, who is apparently helping Joshua train for the fight. He hilariously trolled both Usyk and Joshua asking The Ukrainian boxer if he could also lend his ‘nuts’ to Joshua. “Maybe you can lend him your nuts middleweight?!” he wrote.

It really looks like the ball is in Joshua’s court now. Despite initial doubts that Fury might not be really interested in fighting Joshua because of his post-retirement shenanigans, he looks serious about facing his fellow British boxer. Moreover, this might be the last chance ‘AJ’ gets to sign the contract and confirm the fight.

Do you think Joshua will accept Fury’s offer? Let us know in the comments.
