Is Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua happening? Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren insist negotiations are still ongoing despite Gypsy King's deadline
When his deadline passed on Monday, Fury said:"It’s official. D Day has come and gone. It’s gone past 5pm Monday, no contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua. He’s now out in the cold with the wolfpack. Forget about it. Idiot. Coward!
Joshua has always insisted he would sign on the dotted line, accepting a 60-40 purse split in Fury’s favour.“It’s not in my hands, it’s with the legal team,” he said. “That’s why you hire lawyers. You know the history of boxing, make sure you get your legal terms right.What have Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn said?The promoters have played down Fury’s deadline, saying it is of his own doing.
Hearn, who has guided the career of Joshua, agreed: “There were various positive calls today between promoters and broadcasters who are all working hard to finalise the fight - there has been no talk of a deadline between the parties, but we are moving at pace to try and conclude the deal.”Former WBA champion Mahmoud Charr has called out The Gypsy King.Fury has suggested that fight is now on, but it would be seen as a massive comedown from a potential Joshua clash.
"I’m coming from a five-win streak and God gave me another chance to live. Everyone knows I come from getting shot in my stomach and two hip operations. Never forget, seven months later I became the first Arabic heavyweight champion of the world.
