Tyson Fury does not seem to be willing to take on Anthony Joshua after recent negotiations between the two parties about a potential fight fell through.
The WBC heavyweight champion’s next bout will be against Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.?
Fury fed up with Joshua
“He doesn’t have any belts. He doesn’t have anything that I need, and there will not be a fight between me and him ever,” said Tyson Fury to Sky Sports.
“Full stop. There’s too much messing. I’m not going over it again. They’re too hard to deal with.”
Negotiations reportedly fell through because Fury tried to rush Joshua to put pen on paper, but the famous boxer believes that Joshua never wanted to face him.
“The fight didn’t happen. The reason I believe is they never wanted it to happen and they never had any intention of it happening,” Fury claimed.
“The first week [of negotiations] I believe he was interested in the fight then he realised the daunting task and he got talked out of it by his people and himself.
“If that wasn’t the reason, he would be here now fighting instead of Derek. But he’s not and that is that.”
Fury could be offered the opportunity to take on Joshua next year, if the latter bounces back with a couple of solid victories.
No Fury v Joshua
“No Joshua, no more, no more wasting time,” Fury noted.
“The way he is, he’s in a comfortable position, and he’s worked hard for it. I’m not going to discredit his performances or discredit his achievements. What I can discredit is his lack of commitment to the British public.”
