en.malanginspirasi.com – Tyson Fury has branded Anthony Joshua a “coward” as uncertainty continues to surround the long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown between the two former world champions, BBC reported.
Fury and Joshua have been expected to finally settle their long-running rivalry in November, but the fight now appears increasingly uncertain as negotiations over the venue remain unresolved.
Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, have reportedly signed a contract requiring the bout to take place in the United Kingdom. However, the fight’s organisers are understood to be pushing for the blockbuster event to be staged in the United States.
Hearn has previously indicated that the existing agreement would need to be renegotiated if the fight were moved outside Britain.
The ongoing uncertainty has clearly frustrated Fury, who recently defeated Mariusz Wach to keep his potential clash with Joshua on course.

Speaking on Wednesday, the 38-year-old said the negotiations were becoming increasingly exhausting and claimed he had been willing to fight Joshua at every venue proposed.
“I’ve been down to fight at every location that’s been mentioned — England, Ireland, Vegas, New York, back to England, back to Ireland, back to New York,” Fury said.
“Listen, I’ve said yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, every single time. Zero stipulations.”
Fury then turned his attention directly to Joshua, accusing his long-time rival of avoiding the fight.
“The facts are I feel like you’re being a coward. I feel like you don’t want the fight and you’re just conning everybody,” Fury said.
“I feel like you’ve been doing that for years. You’ve had many opportunities to fight me, but deep down you’ve never really wanted it, so let’s see if you’re going to man up for a final time.”
Fury continued his verbal assault in a separate social media post featuring himself alongside former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Referencing one of Tyson’s most famous catchphrases, Fury urged Joshua to “sign the contract, big boy.”
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the venue, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren insists his fighter remains fully committed to making the bout happen.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Warren said Fury was “100%” signed up for the fight.
“It is signed by Tyson,” Warren said. “Tyson is signed up for the fight and agreed for the fight.”
With both sides still divided over where the bout should take place, the highly anticipated Fury-Joshua showdown remains in limbo, leaving fans waiting to discover whether one of British boxing’s biggest potential fights will finally become a reality.
