Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua Negotiation Reaches Stalemate

After Tyson Fury announced his return, fans asked when will Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fight? Although a fight between the two heavyweights was highly possible, since Usyk refused to fight again this year, Fury had to get hold of some other plans. Those who suspected Tyson Fury’s return following the rematch between Joshua and Usyk were not entirely wrong. However, at this moment the discussion is not anymore about Fury and Usyk but Fury vs. Joshua.

According to latest news, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are likely to take place sooner than Oleksandr Usyk vs. ‘The Gypsy King’. Reportedly, Eddie Hearn wanted the fight to take place on 17th of December. However, since Fury’s promoter Frank Warren already had other events planned for December, he wanted the fight to take place a month earlier, in November itself.

Recently, Fury took to social media and offered Anthony Joshua a 60-40 split. He said, “I’m being bombarded with messages of how much am I going to pay AJ. Everyone is saying 80/20, 70/30, 75/25, the actual answer is I’ve offered him 60/40. 40 per cent of this amazing fight because I want this fight to happen.”

When will Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua take place?

Marcos from Fight Hub took to Twitter and revealed what he heard from the chairman of Matchroom Sports and promoter of ‘AJ’, Eddie Hearn. He wrote, “They sent for Nov 12 60/40 split. Eddie responded with accepting 60/40 on AJ behalf but said AJ couldn’t be ready until Dec 17th. Said Warren had Dec 17th already saved/held.”

Proposing a match to Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury said, “Anthony Joshua, I know you’ve just lost a fight to Usyk, and I know you’re belt-less at the moment, and I’d like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world and the lineal championship in the next few months.”

“You’re coming off a 12-round fight so you’re match fit, you’re ready, I’m giving you a few months’ notice. If you’re interested, I’ll send you the date over and we can rumble – a battle of Britain for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world,” Fury added by saying.
